Florida judge dismisses the Trump Classified Documents case
The Florida judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents trial dismissed the case against the former president Monday on the grounds that the appointment of and funding for special counsel Jack Smith was illegal.
It may also affect the J6 case which Smith also oversees. Political prosecutions are having a bad year.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, said in her 93-page decision that Smith's appointment was "unlawful" and unconditional. "The clerk is directed to close this case," the judge wrote.
