A Florida judge has thrown out the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, arguing that the special counsel Jack Smith was appointed unlawfully. This comes on the scheduled planned appearance of Trump, at the Bitcoin Conference.,On Monday, U. S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional and threw out the classified documents case against Donald Trump.,In her 93-page decision, Judge Cannon expressed that there is a violation of the U. S. Constitution’s appointments clause where Senate confirmation is required for such positions as held by Smith.,,The decision is a legal victory for Trump as his lawyers had argued that the appointment of Smith by the Attorney General without the approval of the Senate was unlawful. The case’s dismissal also extends to the co-defendants of Trump, Walt Nauta, who is the valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago property manager. The Justice Department is expected to appeal the ruling to the 11th Circuit Federal Appeals Court.,After the ruling by Judge Cannon, the office of special counsel Jack Smith is anticipated to appeal the decision. The validity of Smith’s appointment will remain a subject of legal challenge in the higher courts, possibly up to the Supreme Court of the United States. ,Smith is also leading the prosecution of Trump in another federal case in Washington D.C., touching on the 2020 election fraud. Cannon’s decision may be used by Trump’s legal team to question the jurisdiction of Smith in this and other present matters.,Furthermore, this dismissal comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that provided Trump with almost a get out of jail free card when it comes to many things he did while in office. Trump’s legal team however managed to block the appointment of the Special Counsel Smith stating that the congress had not established his position and the senate had not confirm him. Despite this, Smith and his team argued that there is a clear precedent of using special counsels in politically charged investigations.,Nevertheless, the dismissal in Florida did not impact the other criminal cases of Donald Trump. These are the cases in Georgia concerning election interference and a New York state case concerning a 2016 hush money payment. Even though this is a major victory for Trump in Florida, it does not dispel all his legal problems.,Despite the legal fight and an assassination attempt and taking out of the alleged sniper, Trump is expected to continue with his public activities. His campaign team confirmed that Trump will be present at the Republican National Convention that is set to commence this week.,Furthermore, Trump is expected to deliver his address at the subsequent Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. The conference organizers were optimistic about his attendance stating that the global Bitcoin community is united.,As reported by Coingape, Donald Trump is in high spirits and has promised to attend the event. Concurrently, the assassination attempt on Trump during the Pennsylvania rally has not in any way stopped Trump from carrying out his planned programs with him congratulating his security detail for their response. The Bitcoin Conference, which is planned for the end of the month, will attract a lot of interest, particularly due to Trump’s attendance.,Read Also: Genesis Trading Unloads More Bitcoin To Coinbase, BTC Recovery In Jeopardy?,
