A U.S. judge has dismissed the criminal case accusing Donald Trump of illegally retaining classified documents, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed. Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump, determined that Smith lacked the authority to prosecute. This decision marks a significant legal victory for Trump, who is seeking re-election. Prosecutors are expected to appeal, but the ruling casts uncertainty over the case's future. Trump had been indicted for keeping sensitive national security documents at Mar-a-Lago and obstructing efforts to retrieve them. The ruling is part of a series of favorable decisions for Trump.
