Dismissal of Case Based on Unconstitutional Appointment of Special Counsel
Federal Judge Eileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against Trump due to the unconstitutional appointment of special counsel Jack Smith. The ruling argued that the initial appointment of Smith by Attorney General Merrick Garland violated the appointment clause in the U.S. Constitution. Cannon's decision highlighted the need for the appointment of special counsel by the President and confirmation by the Senate, leading to the complete dismissal of the case.
