The illegal documents case against Donald Trump, prosecuted by Special Counsel Jack Smith, centers on allegations that Trump unlawfully retained classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the presidency. These documents, which included sensitive national security information, were not returned despite multiple requests from the government.
In June 2023, Trump was charged with multiple counts, including obstruction of justice and willful retention of national defense information. Trump's legal team has argued that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional, claiming he lacked the authority to prosecute the case. This argument was taken seriously by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, leading to extensive hearings on the matter.
The Justice Department maintains that Smith’s appointment followed legal protocols and that he operates under the Attorney General’s oversight. However, the case has been complicated by legal challenges and procedural debates, reflecting the contentious nature of this high-profile prosecution.
Now, after all the back and forth and money spent, Judge Cannon has dismissed the case against Donald Trump and in this episode we begin taking a look at that order and why she says the case had to be dismissed.
