United States special counsel Jack Smith has appealed a judge’s decision to throw out a criminal case that accuses former President Donald Trump of mishandling secret government documents.
Smith filed the appeal on Wednesday with the Atlanta-based 11th US Court of Appeals, just days after US District Judge Aileen Cannon threw out the case in a major victory for the ex-president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
Cannon ruled on Monday that Smith’s 2022 appointment violated the US Constitution because Congress did not authorise Attorney General Merrick Garland to name a special counsel with the degree of power and independence wielded by Smith.
