Jack Smith Demands Judge Cannon Ignore Clarence Thomas’ Scathing Opinion Questioning His Authority as Special Counsel as His Classified Docs Case Against Trump Crumbles
Special Counsel Jack Smith went after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and urged Judge Cannon to ignore his scathing concurring opinion on special counsels.
Earlier this month Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump’s motion to pause some pre-trial deadlines in Jack Smith’s classified documents case following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump has absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers.
Former presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts, the high court ruled.
The Supreme Court ruled there is no immunity for unofficial acts.
Trump’s attorneys previously asked Judge Cannon to pause the classified documents case and reconsider two motions to dismiss after the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity.
