Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday filed motions to drop all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump regarding his mishandling of classified documents and his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol.

This claim appears to be true. Jack Smith filed motions to drop federal charges against the President-elect, which a judge granted on the grounds of presidential immunity.

I think this factcheck could be a little bit more thorough, delving into the credentials of the website, the author and citing multiple sources that also agree with the claim. NBC can be a bias news source, so it important to analyze the source and compare to others. However the claim does appear to be true as this website displays the video of the affair (https://www.yahoo.com/news/jack-smith-drops-election-case-191424441.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall)
