Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to pause his appeal of Judge Cannon's decision to dismiss the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump. The request, made on Wednesday, comes in light of Trump's recent presidential election victory. Smith seeks to hold the appeal in abeyance, effectively halting proceedings over allegations of mishandling classified documents at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
