Federal classified docs case against Donald Trump co-defendants dismissed
Another national nightmare has come to an end.
[NYPOST] A federal appeals court on Tuesday dismissed indictments against two former co-defendants of President Trump, ending the classified documents case that began almost two years ago in south Florida.

The Atlanta-based US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit threw out the charges against Trump's valet Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, an employee at Mar-a-Lago who was accused of conspiring with the 45th and 47th president to conceal classified files.

The unsigned order to dismiss was filed nearly two weeks after the Justice Department had requested an end to the legal challenge soon after Trump took office Jan. 20.

#2 malicious prosecution

Malicious prosecution is the filing of a lawsuit for an improper purpose, and without grounds or probable cause . The improper lawsuit may either be civil or criminal in nature. To remedy an act of malicious prosecution, an alleged victim files a malicious prosecution action .

A malicious prosecution action is a civil tort claim for damages caused by malicious prosecution. To prove malicious prosecution in California , the plaintiff must show:

The defendant was actively involved in bringing or continuing the lawsuit;
The lawsuit ended in the plaintiff’s favor;
No reasonable person in the defendant’s circumstances would have believed that there were reasonable grounds to bring the lawsuit against the plaintiff;
The defendant acted primarily for a purpose other than succeeding on the merits of the claim;
The plaintiff was harmed; and
The defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff’s harm.
Most jurisdictions follow these elements but may vary on what constitutes each element.
