Jul 17, 2024, 07:36 PM

Special Counsel Jack Smith has announced his intention to appeal the decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to dismiss the federal case against former President Donald Trump. The case involves charges of mishandling classified information and obstruction. Smith's team has criticized the ruling, stating that it deviates from uniform legal standards. The formal notice of appeal was filed on Wednesday, just two days after the judge's dismissal of the 40-count case. The appeal aims to overturn the judge's decision and reinstate the charges against Trump.
