Overview

• The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled the DOJ's opening briefs for August 27 and Trump's response within 30 days.
• Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case, citing improper appointment of Jack Smith by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
• Trump was charged with retaining classified documents and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them after leaving office.
• The dismissal leaned on a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, partially supported by Justice Clarence Thomas.
• If the case is revived, Trump can appeal to the full 11th Circuit or the Supreme Court.
