Former President Trump’s legal team is back in court Monday after a hearing in which both sides argued the legality of Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment in the classified document case against the former president. Proceedings will continue with a potential gag order against Trump.
The judge overseeing the trial, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, is considering motions to dismiss the case against former President Trump, in which he is alleged to have mishandled classified documents. Specifically, the judge is weighing whether the appointment of U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith and the funding of his investigations is 'unlawful.
Meese and company noted in the brief that Smith was appointed 'to conduct the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021.
