Special Counsel Jack Smith challenged Judge Cannon's decision to dismiss the charges against Trump, arguing it contradicted longstanding legal precedents and posed risks to federal office integrity.
Smith's team cited Supreme Court decisions that illustrate Cannon's ruling deviated from precedent and misinterpreted the creation statutes of the special counsel's office.
Despite the ruling's implications, Smith has not requested Judge Cannon's recusal, focusing instead on reinstating the case regarding Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.
The dismissive ruling by Judge Cannon centered on the legitimacy of the special counsel's creation, avoiding examination of the evidence against Trump in the classified documents case.
