Trump's Legal Team Challenges Special Counsel's Appointment

Today, former President Trump's legal representatives are set to appear in a Florida courtroom to contest the legitimacy of special counsel Jack Smith's role in the classified documents case. Trump faces charges for allegedly holding onto highly sensitive government documents after his presidency. The defense argues that Smith's appointment was improper, an assertion that prosecutors have deemed unfounded and responsible for postponing the trial. Over the next three days, U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon will preside over the proceedings that delve into the defense's efforts to remove Smith from the case. These hearings form the latest chapter in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president and raise significant questions about the appointment and authority of special counsels in high-profile legal cases.
