Legal experts expressed concerns over the fate of former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case after a hearing before Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon last week.
Cannon heard arguments on two Trump motions to dismiss the case. She later issued an order dismissing the former president’s motion that the case should be tossed due to constitutional vagueness. Cannon wrote that some of Trump’s arguments warrant “serious consideration” but dismissed the motion without prejudice, which means Trump’s lawyers could potentially introduce it again at trial — at which point special counsel Jack Smith would not be able to appeal it.
