Report: Appeals Court Agrees To End Trump’s Classified Documents Case

On Tuesday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request from special counsel Jack Smith to drop President-elect Trump’s Florida documents case

The order fulfills a request from Smith to end an appeal in the case as it relates to Trump though the case continues for his two co-defendants – valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira.

The move comes after Smith similarly moved to dismiss without prejudice Trump’s election interference case, in both cases noting Trump’s coming inauguration and a DOJ policy that bars the prosecution of sitting presidents.

In the classified documents case, Smith was fighting a ruling from Judge Aileen Cannon that tossed the case, determining that the special counsel was unlawfully appointed.
