Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday that the Justice Department's dismissal of federal cases against United States President-elect Donald Trump is a sign of the "cyclical nature" of US justice.

"American democratic justice system has an amazing cyclical nature - every 4 years it demonstrates absolute impartiality: first before the election, and then immediately after, although with two completely different results," Zakharova noted in a post on Telegram.

Earlier, US special counsel Jack Smith dropped the federal election subversion and the mishandling of classified documents cases against Trump, claiming that the Constitution requires that these cases be dismissed before the president-elect is inaugurated.
