The Justice Department, under President Donald Trump's administration, has decided to halt the case against his former co-defendants in the classified documents investigation initiated by former special counsel Jack Smith. This move includes ceasing an appeal by Smith to reinstate criminal charges against Trump's employees and defend the attorney general's authority to appoint special prosecutors.
Last year, a federal judge dismissed the case against Walt Nauta, Trump's valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Recent reports indicated that Trump was not considering pardoning Nauta and De Oliveira, as it might imply guilt.
