The DOJ cited their policy that presidents can't be prosecuted however it was assumed they would work up until the "last day."
"What's interesting here is that the DOJ is moving to end them even before he takes office, citing the longstanding DOJ policy that sitting presidents can't be prosecuted."
"And there were some thought that maybe special counsel Jack Smith was going to sprint through the finish line, was going to work up until the last day, force Trump to fire him, wait till a new Attorney General was appointed."
"But that does not appear to be the thinking inside the department. The thinking is that these cases can't go forward."
