2 more Trump lawsuits get dropped

Special counsel Jack Smith moved to abandon two criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday, acknowledging that Trump's return to the White House will preclude attempts to federally prosecute him for retaining classified documents or trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Trump has previously said he would remove Jack Smith, who led both cases, if he wins the presidential election.

"I persevered, against all odds, and WON," Trump exulted in a post on Truth Social, his social media website.

He also said that "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."
