Special counsel Jack Smith announced on Monday that he will be dropping his election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump.

On Monday, Smith filed a six-page motion stating that he has asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to throw out the case ahead of Trump’s impending inauguration.

“The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith wrote in a six-page filing. “This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant.”

Earlier this month, Trump said he would fire Smith once he was back in office.

Smith charged Trump with four felonies in the case, alleging he conspired to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump has pleaded not guilty.

In Trump’s Florida documents case, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges, ruling that Smith’s appointment was unlawful. Smith has since appealed the decision.

The final report will have to go through a classification review by the intelligence community, a process that can sometimes take weeks before it is approved for any kind of public release.

Incoming First Lady Melania Trump has announced her longtime aide Hayley Harrison will be her chief of staff.

On Friday, Melania announced Harrison’s in a post on X. She went on to say that Harrison had a “strong understanding of White House operations,” and in her new role would “oversee and manage the East Wing’s team while strategically liaising with other parts of government.”

“Mrs. Harrison has maintained an integral role and exceptional leadership on the First Lady’s team over the past seven years. She has a strong understanding of White House operations, and as Chief of Staff, Mrs. Harrison will oversee and manage the East Wing’s team while strategically liaising with other parts of government,” Melania Trump’s office said Friday on social platform X.

In an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ on October 29th, a week before the election, Melania said she was not “anxious” because she had “much more experience” as she had already lived in the White House.

“So when you go in, you know exactly what to expect,” she said. “You know what kind of people you need to get.”

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brooke Rollins, a former White House domestic policy adviser, to serves as his agriculture secretary in his new administration.

On Saturday, Trump released a statement praising Rollins’ “commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns.”

“A proud Graduate of Texas A&M University, Brooke earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Agriculture Development, and J.D., with Honors,” the announcement said. “From her upbringing in the small and Agriculture-centered town of Glen Rose, Texas, to her years of leadership involvement with Future Farmers of America and 4H, to her generational Family Farming background, to guiding her four kids in their show cattle careers, Brooke has a practitioner’s experience, along with deep Policy credentials in both Nonprofit and Government leadership at the State and National levels.”

Rollins held the roles of director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council during the Trump administration.

Following her term in the White House, she co-founded the America First Policy Institute, a think tank dedicated to advancing policies aligned with the administration’s agenda.

Rollins released a statement following the announcement, thanking Trump for the opportunity.
