Appeals Court Agrees to Toss Trump Classified Docs Case

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request from Special Counsel Jack Smith to drop President-elect Donald Trump’s Florida case, ending the battle to charge him over retaining records with classified markings after leaving office.

The fight to prosecute President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly keeping records with classified markings after leaving office came to an end on Tuesday when the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted special counsel Jack Smith’s request to dismiss the case involving the Florida documents.

Although the case will still go forward for Trump’s two co-defendants, valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira, the order satisfies Smith’s request to terminate an appeal in the case as it concerns Trump.

In both cases, Smith cited Trump’s upcoming inauguration and Department of Justice guidelines that prohibit the prosecution of sitting presidents. Smith also moved to dismiss Trump’s election meddling case without prejudice.

Smith was contesting Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to dismiss the case in the classified materials case, which found that the special counsel had been appointed illegally.
