Special Counsel Jack Smith filed his brief appealing Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the classified documents case against President Trump.
Last month Jack Smith appealed Judge Cannon’s decision to toss the classified documents case to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Aileen Cannon last month 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.
