#ClassifiedDocuments #Trump

#AileenCannon dismissed the #indictment on the grounds that #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith was improperly appointed.

Cannon’s ruling is a remarkable win for Trump, whose lawyers have thrown longshot argument after longshot argument to dismiss the case. Other courts have rejected similar arguments to the one that he made in Florida about Smith’s unlawful appointment.
