Judge grants request to put Trump’s 2020 election interference case on hold

DONALD TRUMP’S CRIMINAL 20-20 ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE IS ON HOLD – AT LEAST FOR NOW.

THE JUDGE OVERSEEING THE FEDERAL CASE GRANTED A REQUEST FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH TO PAUSE THE PROCESS AND GIVE HIM A MONTH TO FORMALLY REQUEST HOW TO MOVE FORWARD FOLLOWING TRUMP’S 20-24 ELECTION VICTORY. 

THIS IS LIKELY THE FIRST STEP IN ENDING THE PROCEEDINGS SINCE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS A POLICY AGAINST PROSECUTING SITTING PRESIDENTS. 

A FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTED TRUMP IN THE CASE IN AUGUST 20-23, BUT DELAYS HAVE KEPT IT FROM GOING TO TRIAL. 

TRUMP IS CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EFFORT TO OVERTURN HIS 20-20 ELECTION LOSS. 

HE’S ALSO ACCUSED OF FRAUD AND TRYING TO DISENFRANCHISE AMERICAN VOTERS. 

IN A SEPARATE CASE, TRUMP FACED CHARGES FOR MISHANDLING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN A FLORIDA.

THAT CASE WAS ULTIMATELY DISMISSED OVER OBJECTIONS TO SMITH’S STATUS AS A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.

SMITH’S OFFICE APPEALED THE DISMISSAL BUT THAT APPEAL IS NOW EXPECTED TO BE DROPPED AS D-O-J OFFICIALS DON’T WANT TO PURSUE EITHER CRIMINAL CASE.

FOR SAN – I’M KARAH RUCKER.
