Special counsel Jack Smith filed a speedy appeal Wednesday of the dismissal of former President Donald Trump’s criminal classified documents case.
The appeal comes just two days after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed the case, writing that Smith’s appointment was unlawful. Trump hailed the ruling as a victory that should be followed by an end to all the “Witch Hunts” against him, while Smith’s office said Cannon’s ruling deviated “from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue.”

The appeals court previously reversed Cannon’s decision to temporarily block investigators from reviewing documents seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. A three-judge appellate panel of Republican appointees described that ruling as “a radical reordering of our caselaw.”
