Top Legal Scholars Back Judge Cannon’s Ruling That Scuttles Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago Case Against Trump

The case for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s disqualification from President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago prosecution grows stronger with a new brief supporting Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that the prosecutor’s appointment was unlawful.
The amicus curiae, or friend of the court, brief aims to persuade the 11th Circuit to uphold Judge Cannon’s stunning removal of Mr. Smith. It’s written by the legal scholars Joshua Blackman and Robert Sasso on behalf of another sage, Seth Barrett Tillman, the one time Whitewater prosecutor Robert Ray, and the Landmark Legal Foundation.
