CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Jinshi citing a report from the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), on the 16th local time, the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals approved the request of special prosecutor Smith to suspend the appeal of the case involving confidential documents involving U.S. President-elect Trump.
The move is part of Smith's gradual winding down of two cases against Trump due to long-standing U.S. Justice Department policy that bars a sitting president from facing criminal prosecution while in office.
Since Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election and will take office as U.S. President in January 2025, Smith said that the appeal was requested at this time "to allow the government time to evaluate this unprecedented situation and determine the appropriate course consistent with Department of Justice policy."
