Special counsel Jack Smith announced on Wednesday that he is appealing a judge's decision to throw out the indictment against former President Donald Trump related to his handling of classified documents. The appeal was filed just two days after US District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the prosecution, prompting Smith's team to take immediate action by filing a notice of appeal.
The appeal process has now set in motion, with the case set to be reviewed by judges from the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals based in Atlanta. Despite the conservative-leaning nature of the appellate court, past rulings have shown a willingness to defy ideological expectations.
