U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Donald Trump on Monday morning, according to a filing.
Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, granted the defense motion to dismiss the case Monday, voiding a prosecution that at the time it was brought was seen as the most perilous of the multiple legal threats Trump faced.
Trump called for Biden’s Justice Department to “end all weaponization of our justice system,” hailing the case dismissal Monday morning in a Truth Social post.
The dismissal comes just hours after the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the attempted assassination of the former president.
Lawyers for Trump had argued Smith was illicitly appointed in violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause and that his office was improperly funded by the Justice Department. Smith’s team had vigorously contested the argument during hearings before Cannon last month.
A spokesman for the Smith team did not immediately return a request seeking comment.
根据法庭文件，美国地区法官艾琳·坎农周一上午驳回了特别检察官杰克·史密斯针对唐纳德·特朗普的机密文件案。 被特朗普任命为法官的坎农周一批准了辩方驳回此案的动议，使起诉无效，该起诉在提起时被视为特朗普面临的多重法律威胁中最危险的一项。 特朗普呼吁拜登的司法部“结束我们司法系统的所有武器化”，并在周一早上的《真相社会》帖子中对案件驳回表示欢迎。这次撤案是在威斯康星州密尔沃基举行的共和党全国代表大会开始以及企图暗杀前总统之后几个小时发生的。 特朗普的律师辩称，史密斯的任命是非法的，违反了宪法的任命条款，而且他的办公室得到了司法部的不当资助。史密斯团队在上个月坎农的听证会上对这一论点进行了激烈的争论。 史密斯团队的发言人没有立即回复寻求评论的请求。
