Special Counsel Jack Smith appeals ruling questioning his constitutional appointment to investigate Trump.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is appealing a ruling by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who questioned the constitutionality of his appointment to investigate former President Donald Trump. Cannon argued that Smith, appointed as a private citizen, violated the U.S. Constitution's Appointments Clause. The Eleventh Circuit will review the case, which may have significant implications for special counsels and ongoing investigations. Trump's defense has until September 26 to respond.
