All bets are off' if appeals court wades into Judge Cannon's Trump cover-up: MS NOW
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
An order by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to keep special counsel Jack Smith's investigation report into the classified document case of President Donald Trump under wraps may face legal challenges that could reverse her decision. Cannon, a Donald Trump-appointed judge accused of running interference for the president, ruled that Smith was illegally appointed and his investigation invalid. She characterized the report's compilation as "a concerning breach of the spirit of the Dismissal Order." However, legal analyst Lisa Rubin noted that while the Department of Justice and indictment-affected parties did not contest Cannon's ruling, two public interest groups—American Oversight and the Knight First Amendment Institute—have attempted to intervene. Though Cannon denied their intervention request, both groups are appealing. If the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals determines these groups have standing in the case, Cannon's order could be reversed.Watch video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
