Smith filed \u2063this motion in a\u200c Washington, D.C. federal\u2062 court related to Trump&#8217;s alleged interference in the 2020 election and similarly sought to dismiss charges regarding the \u2064mishandling of sensitive\u200c documents in Florida. Trump criticized these charges as politically motivated, claiming they have wasted taxpayer money and are indicative of a &#8220;lawless&#8221; legal approach taken \u200bby the Democrats\u200d against him.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s rationale for seeking dismissal is linked to Trump&#8217;s upcoming inauguration, arguing \u2064that the constitutional duties of a president should not be hindered \u2062by legal proceedings. Trump has also expressed frustration over ongoing state and local cases against him, denouncing the \u2062prosecutors involved and asserting that the charges are politically driven. He highlighted \u2064the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-doubles-down-on-vaccine-mandate\/\" title=\"Biden admin. doubles down on vaccine mandate\">ongoing legal battles<\/a> in Georgia and New York and noted recent developments, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">court ruling \u2063postponing oral arguments<\/a> in one of these cases and\u2062 allowing his attorneys to file for dismissal in another. Throughout \u200dthis period, Trump continues to rally his supporters with claims of an unjust legal system targeting him as a political opponent.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump responded to special counsel Jack Smith&rsquo;s decision Monday to move to dismiss the federal cases brought against the Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said the charges should have never been brought in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jack-smith-drops-charges-trump-says-circumstances-changed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filed a motion<\/a> in a Washington, D.C., federal court to dismiss all four felony charges against Trump related to alleged interference in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>His office did the same at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the alleged mishandling of sensitive documents case originally brought against Trump in Florida.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128680; Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked the 11th Circuit to dismiss his appeal of Judge Cannon&rsquo;s order dismissing the Florida documents case.<\/p>\n<p>This motion applies as to defendant Trump only, NOT his two co-defendants. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ABrEoFm738\">pic.twitter.com\/ABrEoFm738<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; DW Fan (@daily_wire_fan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daily_wire_fan\/status\/1861119901076701452?\">November 25, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,&rdquo; Trump wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party&rsquo;s fight against their Political Opponent, ME.
