In a major ruling, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday granted former President Donald Trump’s request to dismiss his classified documents case. She ruled that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unlawful under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
The Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee Monday, where former President Trump is expected to formally accept the Republican nomination for president. The former president said he has rewritten his speech for the convention following Saturday’s assassination attempt.
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said the agency will “participate fully” in an investigation into the assassination attempt on former President Trump and work with Congress on “any oversight action.” She expressed confidence in the agency’s security plan for the Republican National Convention.
