Judge Aileen Cannon asks if there's any limit to Jack Smith's funding

Judge Aileen Cannon heard more challenges to special counsel Jack Smith's authority on Monday – this time asking if there was any limit to the funding that supports his office.

The Trump-appointed judge made the comment at a hearing in her Fort Pierce, courtroom as Trump's lawyer argued that Smith's funding is contrary to the rules governing congressional appropriations.

It is one of multiple challenges Trump's team have challenged to the prosecutor leading the classified documents case against him. (Smith is also heading the case based in Washington, D.C. that is on hold while the considers Trump's immunity claims.)
