WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors moved Monday to dismiss the criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump that accused him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election and to abandon the classified documents case against him, citing longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. The decision by special counsel Jack Smith, who had fiercely sought to hold Trump criminally accountable for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, represented the end of the federal effort against the former president following his election victory this month despite the election-related cases and multiple other unrelated criminal charges against him and is headed back to the White House. The decision, revealed in court filings, also amounts to a predictable but nonetheless stunning conclusion to criminal cases that had been seen as the most perilous of the multiple legal threats Trump has faced. It reflects the practical consequences of Trump’s victory, ensuring he enters office free from scrutiny over his hoarding of top secret documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Smith’s team emphasized that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Smith's team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated, and had vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. But it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of using “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. ___ Associated Press writer Colleen Long contributed to this story.

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday granted ad-interim relief to HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd., issuing a John Doe (unknown parties) order against an unidentified individual who threatened to leak confidential customer data. John Doe orders, often used in intellectual property cases, are issued against anonymous entities when the exact identity of the infringer is unknown. Justice Riyaz Chagla passed the order after concluding that HDFC Life had established a strong prima facie case for relief. “Having considered the facts and the IT Rules, I find that the Plaintiff has made a strong prima facie case for ad-interim relief,” the Court observed. HDFC Life, a leading insurance company with 6.6 crore customers and Rs 63,076 crore in premium collections for FY 2023-24, received emails from an anonymous sender claiming to possess sensitive customer data. The sender threatened to leak and sell the data unless negotiations were initiated. The emails contained details such as policy numbers, names, addresses, mobile numbers, and receipt numbers. Suspecting a ransomware attack, HDFC Life revealed that the sender escalated their demands on November 20, seeking 1,800 Ethereum (Rs 54.50 crore) and directing the company to contact them via Telegram and WhatsApp. The Court emphasised the potential harm of the data breach, including identity theft, financial fraud, and privacy violations. “Disclosure of the sensitive and confidential customer data can be highly damaging to both the Plaintiff and its customers. The Plaintiff has pointed out that publication, sale, or misuse of the data can result in identity theft, financial fraud, privacy violations, and unauthorized transactions. The data can be misused for a variety of purposes, including impersonating the Plaintiff, which would also involve infringement of the Plaintiff’s registered trademark and passing off,” the Court stated. It noted that the damage could not be compensated monetarily, especially since the perpetrator’s identity was unknown. The Court directed Meta Platforms, WhatsApp, and Telegram to remove accounts, content, and phone numbers linked to the threats and to submit compliance reports within 24 hours. It also ordered the Union of India and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to ensure swift action by internet service providers to block related accounts. Additionally, the platforms were directed to disclose any information identifying the sender. The HC has kept the matter for hearing on December 17.
