Trump Classified Documents Case Dismissed by Florida Judge

 A Florida judge has dismissed the US Department of Justice's case against Donald Trump, handing the former president a major victory just days after a gunman attempted to kill him. 

 Judge Aileen Cannon allowed Trump to stop a federal lawsuit alleging that the Justice Department's appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Appointments Process of the US Constitution. 

 Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges related to his handling of classified documents, including the withholding of national security information. Many classified 

  files have been found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort in Florida, including bathrooms and storage, when Trump leaves the White House in 2021. 

 are two pillars of our constitutional system—the work of Congress and the appointment of executive officers. law, and the role of Congress in authorizing legislative expenditures,” Judge Cannon concluded in the 93-page order. 

 The former president has been accused several times of mishandling documents. Of the indictments, 37 accused Trump of keeping his files in Florida and lying to investigators. He was accused of trying to obstruct the investigation and control of documents. 

 He was charged with assistant Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, who also pleaded guilty. Attorney General Merrick Garland 

 appointed Mr. Smith in 2022 to oversee two federal investigations into the former president. Justice , in his judgment with Cannon, said that this decision applies to this case and not to the second Mr. Smith oversees the effort to overthrow the 2020 election. 

 The lawyers of the president did not give a similar request to cancel the case. 

 A Florida judge appointed by Trump recently delayed a hearing on classified federal documents, saying there were important questions about the trial's evidence. 

 legal experts weighed the strengths and weaknesses of Mr. Smith brought. 

 On Monday, Judge Cannon intervened and said the details were irrelevant. 

 It happened that the existence of special counsels—the way they were appointed and their funding—violated the Constitution of the United States. 

 Judge Cannon's decision contradicts the decisions of other US district judges who have dealt specifically with the named people. 

 He draws on the views of some conservative legal scholars, and particularly that of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in a recent Supreme Court defense decision. , In this case, the Supreme Court said that former presidents, including Trump, cannot be sued for "official duties." 

 Justice Cannon cited three times in his decision in which he agreed with Justice Thomas and the Supreme Court's decision on whether there is a statutory requirement for the appointment of a special counsel.

The indictment included images of files allegedly stored in a shower at Donald Trump's Florida property, Mar-a-Lago

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the alkhabrfdakika on Monday that Judge Cannon's decision was "surprising to say the least". Although Judge Cannon said his decision was limited to this case, Mr Rahmani said he was challenging the appointment of a special counsel in other cases. This includes the case of Hunter Biden - the son of President Joe Biden - who was investigated by a private prosecutor and convicted last month on gun charges. But the main difference is that the special counsel in this case, David Weiss, is the US attorney for Delaware who unlike Mr. Smith, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Mr Smith could appeal the decision on Monday and ask for a new judge to be appointed to the case. Legal experts said Judge Cannon's decision could be overturned, but further delays in the case could benefit the Trump campaign. "His decision has no chance of further appeals, because it contradicts the decisions of the Supreme Court and other lower courts, but it will prevent further scandals before the election," David Super of the Georgetown University Law Office said. The private attorney general has not commented publicly on Judge Cannon's decision. Cannon's decision comes as Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention, where Trump will accept the party's presidential nomination. The American election will take place on November 5. On Monday, Trump said in a press release that closing the case "must be the first step, next to impeaching all the accused witches." "Let's come together to end all investigations in our justice system and make America great again!" Although many Republican representatives were happy with the decision, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, called the dismissal "unfair". In May, Trump was convicted of falsifying business records in a money laundering case in New York. He will be sentenced in September. indictments have been indicted on four charges in the 2020 election, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy against civil rights. Trump and about 18 other defendants are accused in a separate case of felony conspiracy to overturn his narrow victory in Georgia in the 2020 election. has denied any wrongdoing.
