Special counsel Jack Smith has announced the decision to drop the prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents. However, the case against two of his employees, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, will continue.
Nauta and de Oliveira, who are employed by Trump, are facing accusations of aiding the former president in obstructing a federal investigation related to sensitive government documents taken from his first administration.
The ongoing legal proceedings are currently being reviewed by the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals. This review follows a judge's order that dismissed all charges against the defendants.
While the prosecution against Trump has been dropped, the case against his employees remains active, highlighting the complexities and legal nuances involved in such high-profile investigations.
