A legal expert for CNN has given special counsel Jack Smith some bad news regarding his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
Analyst Elie Honig made his comments following a three-page order issued by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday. Cannon, who has faced mounting criticism from the left regarding her management of the case, reprimanded Smith in response to his recent filing.
In the same order, Cannon denied Trump’s request to have the case dismissed on grounds that he should be protected by the Presidential Records Act, but she also ripped Smith, per the Washington Post:
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.
