Jack Smith's Report from President Trump's Classified Docs Case Permanently Blocked by Judge Aileen Cannon

The federal judge who smacked down special counsel Jack Smith’s partisan investigation of Donald Trump just delivered another stinging blow.

District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled Monday that Smith’s report on his investigation of Trump for allegedly retaining classified documents after his first term should remain permanently sealed,The Associated Pressreported.

And some of her wording was scathing about the man Democrats hoped would derail Trump’s political career once and for all.

“Special Counsel Smith, acting without lawful authority, obtained an indictment in this action and initiated proceedings that resulted in a final order of dismissal of all charges,”Cannon wrote.

“As a result, the former defendants in this case, like any other defendant in this situation, still enjoy the presumption of innocence held sacrosanct in our constitutional order.”

A special counsel “acting without lawful authority.” Is there a more damning description than that?

Cannon is the Trump-appointed judge, based in Fort Pierce, Florida, who’ddetermined in July 2024that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unlawful in the first place.
