Two months ago Donald Trump appointed judge, Aileen Cannon, paused his classified documents case pending resolution of outstanding pretrial litigation [click here if you missed that].
From NBC News
The Florida judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents trial dismissed the case against the former president Monday on the grounds that the appointment of and funding for special counsel Jack Smith was illegal.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, said in her 93-page decision that Smith's appointment was "unlawful" and unconditional. "The clerk is directed to close this case," the judge wrote.
The decision came on the first day of the Republican National Convention, and following an assassination attempt on the former president over the weekend.
