Trump's lawyers urge court to uphold dismissal of classified documents case

Quick Summary:

The case charging Trump with hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida had long been seen as legally perilous for the Republicans' White House nominee, but US District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed it in July after concluding that special counsel Jack Smith's appointment to the job was unlawful.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have urged a federal appeals court to uphold the dismissal of the classified documents case against him, saying a judge was correct in ruling that the prosecutor who brought the charges was illegally appointed.

The ruling brought an abrupt halt to the case, ensuring there would be no trial before the November presidential election.
