Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham urged special counsel Jack Smith to end his legal cases against Donald Trump after Trump’s projected 2024 presidential victory.
Graham criticized the charges as “politically motivated” and claimed the American public was tired of “lawfare.”
Smith, appointed in 2022, had charged Trump over classified documents and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting prosecution scope bolstered Trump’s legal position.
Trump, convicted in a separate case involving business record falsification, has indicated plans to dismiss Smith upon taking office in January.
I think that’s their point. Reading it doesn’t help, it’ll just stress you out and cause worry. For most people there’s nothing we can do, so ignoring it might be the healthiest option.
