Jack Smith is appealing the dismissal of the Trump classified documents case
Jack Smith, the special counsel, has appealed a federal judge’s decision to dismiss the case involving classified documents related to President Trump. The appeal was made on Wednesday. The federal judge had ruled that the lawsuit, which sought to obtain the classified documents through a Freedom of Information Act request, was without merit and dismissed it.
In the appeal, Smith argued that the judge had erred in dismissing the case and that the public has a right to access the classified documents in order to understand the actions of the President.
The case has attracted significant attention due to the potential implications of the classified documents on the Trump administration. The appeal will now be reviewed by the federal appeals court.
Jack Smith appeals decision to dismiss Trump classified documents case
Special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday appealed a federal judge’s decision to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
“The United States of America hereby gives notice that it appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the order of the District Court entered on July 15,” according to a notice on the docket from Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute the case against Trump.
The appeal comes just two days after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case in response to a motion by Trump that argued Smith was improperly appointed. The special counsel’s office previously signaled plans to appeal her order in a statement Monday evening.
