CNN legal analyst Elie Honig delivered some bad news for special counsel Jack Smith in light of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
Smith’s remarks came during a segment on the network this month, prompted by a three-page order issued by Cannon, who has faced growing scrutiny from the left over her handling of the case.
In her order, Cannon rebuked Smith in response to a recent filing while also rejecting Trump’s plea to dismiss the case on the basis of protection under the Presidential Records Act.
The Washington Post reported:
Even as she ruled against Trump’s motion, Cannon’s three-page order also revealed her displeasure over Smith’s characterization of her order, suggesting this may not be the last such battle in the historic prosecution of a former president and the presumptive GOP presidential candidate.
