Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a request with an appeals court to pause his appeal against President-elect Trump regarding the alleged mishandling of classified and top-secret documents at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This move mirrors a similar action taken by Smith in the D.C. election interference case just last week.
The decision to halt the appeal comes amidst reports confirming that Smith will be stepping down from his position before President-elect Trump assumes office.
