Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A federal judge has dismissed two significant criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, citing Justice Department policy. As Trump prepares for office, he is also responding to civil fraud allegations in New York, where he has requested Attorney General Letitia James to drop claims against him, appealing to unity and calling the case politically motivated. Legal experts suggest the criminal cases, initially led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, are unlikely to resume, while Trump's civil liability regarding fraudulent financial representation continues to grow amid ongoing appeals.
