Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss four charges against President-elect Donald Trump for his alleged 2020 election subversion efforts.

“It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President,” Smith’s team wrote in a filing.
