ChainCatcher news, according to a report by ABC, on the 16th local time, the U.S. Court of Appeals approved Special Prosecutor Smith's request to suspend the appeal in the case involving classified documents against elected President Trump.This move is part of Smith's gradual conclusion of two cases against Trump, due to the long-standing policy of the U.S. Department of Justice that prohibits a sitting president from facing criminal charges while in office.As Trump is expected to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election and will take office as President of the United States in January 2025, Smith stated that the request to suspend the appeal at this time is "to allow the government time to assess this unprecedented situation and determine the appropriate course of action in accordance with Department of Justice policy."
