Special counsel Jack Smith has responded to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' criticism of his appointment in the ongoing classified documents case involving former President Donald Trump. Smith informed US District Judge Aileen Cannon that Thomas' remarks should not impact the criminal proceedings against Trump.
In a recent filing, Smith emphasized that Thomas' opinion in a separate case regarding presidential immunity does not hold sway over the current matter in Florida. He stated that all courts have consistently upheld the Attorney General's authority to appoint a Special Counsel, dismissing any concerns raised by Thomas' concurrence.
