Smith's federal criminal cases against Trump were upended by the election, as the Justice Department's longstanding policy is that sitting presidents can't be charged with crimes.

    Thanks for the clarification. I’m glad that presidents can’t just overturn Justice Department policy when they want.

    Wish we had a remind me bot so I can check this comment in 4 years and see if that’s still the case.
