Legal proceedings against former president hit pause after his win in presidential race. Justice Department faces tough choices due to rules about prosecuting sitting presidents

A federal judge put-off all court deadlines in the election interference case against Donald Trump on 11/08 (this action comes as prosecutors re-think their strategy after his victory in presidential race)

The charges brought by Jack Smith last yr included two major cases: election results manipulation and improper handling of classified files at mar-a-lago estate; these cases now face an uncertain future because of long-time Justice Department rules

The prosecutors team must now figure-out what to do with both federal cases before Trump takes office in January: the departments policy clearly states that a sitting president cant be charged with crimes. A source close to the case shared this info with Associated Press but wasnt allowed to speak publicly
