NEW: Judge Cannon Scorches Jack Smith’s Case Against Trump, Cites Biden’s Double Standard
Judge Aileen Cannon fiercely criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against former President Donald Trump in a South Florida court. The case accuses Trump of mishandling classified documents, which gained attention amid concerns over President Biden’s similar actions. Cannon highlighted a double standard in justice, referring to a report on Biden’s handling of classified materials.
Trump’s storing of documents at Mar-a-Lago, his designated presidential office, and his authority to declassify as president were noted. Cannon suggested Trump’s case is less severe than Biden’s due to legal protections.
A guilty verdict for Trump would imply “selective and vindictive prosecution,” potentially undermining democracy. Dismissing the case would be a victory for democracy, countering claims of election interference.
