PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley and 22 other Attorneys General are requesting Special Counsel Jack Smith, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis end their political prosecutions of President Donald Trump.

“With the election over and President Trump returning to the White House, it is time to end political prosecutions,” said Attorney General Jackley. “The President must be able to do his job without the constant threat of prosecution.”
