Special Counsel Jack Smith is appealing to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals to revive his office’s classified documents case against Donald Trump. This comes after Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case, arguing that the Justice Department lacked the constitutional authority to appoint or fund Smith as special counsel. Smith’s filing criticizes Cannon’s decision as "novel" and without merit, warning that it could undermine the authority of other federal leaders and disrupt ongoing prosecutions, including those against Trump and Hunter Biden.
