Judge Cannon Presses Trump's Lawyer on Special Counsel Bias Claims

Donald Trump's lawyer argued in a Florida federal court to dismiss the criminal case against Trump for mishandling classified documents, claiming Special Counsel Jack Smith is too independent. Despite Trump's accusations of political bias by President Biden, the Justice Department maintains that Smith's independence is not absolute. The case, overseen by Judge Aileen Cannon, is unlikely to reach a jury before the November 2024 election. This legal challenge is part of Trump's broader strategy against Smith, who is also handling other cases involving Trump.
