Jul 17, 2024, 07:56 PM

Special Counsel Jack Smith has formally appealed a federal judge's decision to dismiss the criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. The charges were related to Trump's alleged mishandling of classified information following the end of his presidency. The appeal was filed just two days after Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling on Monday, July 17, to throw out the indictment. This legal move signifies an ongoing effort by the prosecution to hold Trump accountable for the alleged retention of classified documents.
