Donald Trump marches on. After the assassination attempt on the former US president, who miraculously suffered only a minor injury to his right ear during a campaign event on Saturday, the next good news for the 78-year-old Republican team is the criminal proceedings in the United States. so-called documents -The affair has been dropped.
This was announced by Judge Aileen Cannon in Miami, Florida, and based the decision on doubts about the legal appointment of the special counsel in the case. Trump was indicted at the federal level last year in the documents affair. In this case, he is accused of illegally storing highly sensitive information from his time as president (2017 to 2021).
Trump is also accused of obstruction of justice
In August 2022, FBI federal agents raided Trump’s Florida mansion and seized several sets of documents classified as top secret. Trump is also accused of conspiring to obstruct the investigation by allegedly attempting, with the help of associates, to make surveillance footage disappear and remove boxes of documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty.
A few weeks ago, Trump won another case before the Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump enjoys broad protections from prosecution for actions he took while in office. This decision has nothing directly to do with the termination of the proceedings in Miami – but it may have an indirect connection.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in an opinion on the immunity ruling that special counsel Jack Smith was not legally appointed and therefore had no standing to charge Trump. No direct legal implications emerged from Thomas’s text in the ruling.
