Former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann joins José Díaz-Balart to explain more on Judge Cannon dismissing former President Trump's classified documents case.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has much more free time on her hands now. Last week, her calendar was packed with hearings and pending motions in former President Donald Trump’s federal classified documents case. But on Monday she issued a sweeping ruling dismissing the case and finding that special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed in the process. The 93-page ruling puts an end — for now — to what had once been seen as the strongest case against Trump.
” The resulting regulations have been invoked in both Democratic and Republican administrations with little to indicate that they might be unconstitutional. A court challenge against special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, named by then-President George W. Bush to investigate the Valerie Plame leak, that made similar Appointment Clause arguments was rejected by a district court judge in 2006.
