Judge dismisses Trump documents case

(NewsNation) — Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.

Cannon dismissed the case on the grounds that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.

The case was one of four against the former president. Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies in a business fraud case in New York and the two election cases against him, one in federal court and one in Georgia, remain in legal limbo.
