NEW: Jack Smith to Appeal Judge Cannon’s Decision Tossing Trump’s Classified Documents Case to 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday dismissed Jack Smith’s classified documents case based on unlawful appointment and funding of the special counsel.
The charges waged against Trump and his co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira were all tossed.
Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June 2023 for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.
Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.
Last July Jack Smith hit Trump with 3 additional charges in the investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
