Editorial: El País

• The US Prosecutor's Office has closed its investigation against Donald Trump for his participation in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
• The special prosecutor assigned to the case, Jack Smith, has resigned.
• Smith defends the four criminal charges against Trump, however, he was unable to bring him to trial before the elections due to the policy of not prosecuting sitting presidents.
• Jack Smith's report confirms the humiliating defeat of justice at the hands of a populist.
• Donald Trump will take office again on the 20th.

Conclusion: This event represents a setback for justice and a potential danger for democracy in the United States.
