Jack Smith officially challenges Cannon's dismissal of Trump classified document case

Special Counsel Jack Smith Wednesday filed his appeal after Florida federal court Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, court records show.

The two-page ruling simply states Smith means to take Cannon's controversial ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

This move comes just two days after Cannon tossed the Espionage Acts violations case against Trump on the grounds that Smith was not properly appointed as special counsel.
