Judge Dismisses Trump Indictment, DOJ Appeals

Legal experts predict reversal as Judge Cannon's ruling questions special counsel's authority.

  • Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against Trump, citing unconstitutional appointment of special counsel Jack Smith.
  • The DOJ has appealed the ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has previously overturned Cannon's decisions.
  • Legal scholars argue that Cannon's decision could be reversed and that she might be removed from the case.
  • The ruling has sparked debate over the legality and future of special counsel appointments in high-profile cases.
  • If the 11th Circuit overturns the decision, the case may still face delays, potentially impacting the 2024 presidential election.
