In her ruling on Monday, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against former President Donald Trump concerning his alleged mishandling of classified information.
The decision marks a significant win for Trump, as it is the first complete dismissal among his four criminal cases.
The 93-page ruling cited the unlawful appointment of special counsel Jack Smith, declaring it a violation of the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution. “The Superseding Indictment is dismissed because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.”
