Judge in Trump's classified docs case sets hearing on legality of Jack Smith's appointment

Judge Aileen M. Cannon who is overseeing former President Trump’s criminal case over allegedly mishandling classified documents after his term in the White House set a hearing for June 21 over the legality of special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment.

Some conservative lawyers have argued that Smith is not able to bring forth criminal charges against a former president as a private citizen, given that Smith has not been confirmed by the Senate.

Cannon said legal scholars would be able to appear on June 21 to present their arguments over Trump's legal team's motion to dismiss the case.
