The move, announced in court papers, marks the end of the Justice Department’s landmark effort to hold Mr Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. In court papers, prosecutors said the Justice Department’s position “is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”. Mr Smith’s team emphasised that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Mr Smith’s team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Mr Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Mr Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated and has vowed to fire Mr Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. However, it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Mr Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The US Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Mr Smith’s team filed a lengthy brief in October laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.

Nittany Lions regulars sustain serious leg injuries at MinnesotaIsraeli forces targeted and killed five journalists in a strike in central Gaza on Thursday, reportedly setting their vehicle ablaze as they were sleeping inside it. The journalists, with the al-Quds Today TV channel, were near the al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat refugee camp when Israel struck their van. Photos and videos circulating on social media showed that the van was clearly marked as a press vehicle; one video showing the van engulfed in a massive blaze was taken by the brother of one of the journalists, who screamed and sobbed as he filmed. The journalists were identified by local officials and the news outlet as Ayman al-Jadi, Faisal Abu al-Qumsan, Mohammed al-Ladah, Ibrahim al-Sheikh Ali, and Fadi Hassouna. Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, who has also previously been targeted by Israeli military threats, said that al-Jadi was waiting for his wife, who was in the hospital, giving birth to their first child together. “He had recently married amidst this devastating genocide and was filled with hope to welcome his newborn tonight. Tragically, Israel took his life just hours before he could hold his baby for the first time,” al-Sharif wrote. Gaza government officials say that the attack brings the total number of journalists killed by Israeli forces since the genocide began last October to 201. Israel has long had a practice of assassinating journalists , despite international law barring the targeting of civilians, and has seemingly sought to erase journalists in Gaza in an attempt to cover up their genocidal acts. “The Government Media Office condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation’s targeting, killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists,” the agency said in a statement. “We hold the ‘Israeli’ occupation, the American administration, and the countries participating in the crime of genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France fully responsible for committing this heinous and brutal crime.” North Gaza-based Hossam Shabat, an Al Jazeera journalist named with al-Sharif in Israel’s “assassination threat” list in September, has said that reporters in Gaza have no choice but to live in makeshift shelters, himself living in a bombed-out building, as they travel around the region to bring the news of their peoples’ slaughter to the world. Like it has before following their massacres of and threats toward Gaza journalists, the Israeli military claimed , without evidence, that the journalists were “ terrorists .” Numerous Palestinian journalists and humanitarian groups have noted that, when pressed on similar claims, Israel never corroborates them, sometimes inventing absurd narratives; earlier this year, Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, and claimed after his death that he had received a military ranking from Hamas in 2007 — when al-Ghoul was 10 years old. Shabat and advocacy groups have condemned Western media for their silence on Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian journalists. “These five young men have been working tirelessly, reporting on our own genocide. They deserve all the recognition and respect for their efforts, yet none of the Western media want to acknowledge that Israel is systematically killing journalists in Gaza,” said Shabat. “Shame on every journalist who isn’t speaking about the systematic killing of Palestinian journalists in Gaza; shame on every one of you.” “By remaining silent as their Palestinian colleagues are killed, kidnapped and attacked, American media professionals give tacit approval to the far-right Israeli government to continue its campaign of censorship targeting all those who expose its ongoing genocide,” said Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper in a statement . “The genocidal Israeli government enjoys impunity in attacking the media because of a lack of reporting on its killings, attacks and kidnappings targeting journalists.”First and foremost, Disney parks are renowned for their meticulously designed environments that are both aesthetically appealing and conducive to focus.
