Special counsel Jack Smith is in active talks with US Justice Department leadership about how to end his federal prosecutions of Donald Trump, according to a DOJ official familiar with the discussions.
These discussions are expected to last several days.
DOJ officials are considering options for how to wind down the two criminal cases against Trump – over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of classified documents – while also complying with a 2020 memo from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel about indictments or prosecutions of sitting presidents.
Trump has said multiple times he plans to fire Smith and end the federal cases against him.
