A U.S. court dismisses the last federal criminal case against Donald Trump...
A U.S. court dismisses the last federal criminal case against Donald Trump, involving allegations of illegally retaining classified documents, following a request by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith. Another case on election subversion was also dismissed earlier, citing the Justice Department's inability to prosecute a sitting president. Both dismissals are "without prejudice," allowing charges to be refiled after Trump’s presidency. Trump, who faced nearly 100 criminal charges earlier, declares the cases politically motivated. The dismissal concludes a long legal saga, though charges against his employees remain active, with debates over the prosecutor's authority continuing.

In a desperate attempt to stop BRICS from floating a new currency, The US President threatens BRICS nations with a 100% tariffs on imports by tweet in the social media platform X with the following statement, "The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America."
