The judge seeks input from both sides on how a recent ruling affects the legality of funding for Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations.
- Cannon has asked for legal briefs on a Supreme Court decision regarding the appropriations clause by June 11.
- The decision could influence the legality of funding for Smith's role in Trump's classified documents and election interference cases.
- Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey has joined the case as an amicus curiae to support arguments against Smith's appointment.
