A judge ruled that special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed.
Special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday filed an official notice of appeal of federal Judge Aileen Cannon's order dismissing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case.
U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon ruled this week that special counsel Jack Smith's appointment in Trump's classified documents case was unconstitutional, prompting several legal observers to argue that the same logic should apply to Hunter Biden. Attorney General Merrick Garland pulled Smith from The Hague, where he was prosecuting war criminals -- not the Justice Department. By contrast, the special counsel in Hunter Biden's cases, David Weiss, previously served as U.S. Attorney in Delaware, where he had been appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
