In ruling on a motion Trump's attorneys submitted months ago, Cannon dismissed what many legal scholars considered the strongest criminal case against the former president and the one that was on the surest legal footing.
Cannon's 93-page opinion embraced a legal theory that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, a theory that has gained traction in conservative legal circles but remains an outlier.
Jonathan Turley called the ruling a 'three-point shot' for Trump, citing it as a seismic ruling that eliminated the greatest threat to Trump from the Florida case.
