Appeals court asked to reinstate Trump classified docs case
The special counsel in the dismissed Trump classified documents case is asking an appeals court to reinstate the case. A federal judge threw out the case last month after concluding that Jacks Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional. The appeal is the latest development in a prosecution that has been derailed by delays and, ultimately, the dismissal. It’s unclear how long it will take for the appeals court to decide the matter, but even if it overturns the case and revives the prosecution, there’s no chance of a trial before the November presidential election.
