things. the question is going to be where do they go over the next four years without any clear leadership at the helm of the party itself. back to you. >> all right, jarred hill in washington. thanks. president-elect trump also appears to have defeated his landmark federal criminal case in washington. cbs news has learned special counsel jack smith is making preparations to wind down his criminal case against trump for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. cbs' scott macfarlane has that story. >> reporter: cbs news has learned special counsel jack smith is expected to shut down the federal criminal case in which former president trump is charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. and capitalizing on the chaos of the attack on the capitol as part of the scheme. a justice department policy blocks prosecutions of sitting presidents. >> history will record that the trump prosecutions were resolved not in a court of law but at a ballot box. but that's for better, for worse, the way that our constitutional system works.
