The Justice Department is reportedly trying to “wind down” the federal criminal cases against President-Elect Donald Trump before he returns to the White House.
DOJ officials are considering ways to fizzle out the two federal criminal cases that Trump faces — one involving his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and the other related to improperly storing a trove of classified documents — in order to comply with its long-standing policy not to prosecute sitting presidents, sources told NBC News and USA Today.
