Special counsel Jack Smith's team has withdrawn from their appeal of the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump's co-defendants in the case.

Trump pleaded not guilty in June 2023 to 37 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials.

The special counsel dropped his appeal against Trump due to a longstanding Department of Justice policy prohibiting prosecution of a sitting president.
