NEW: Judge Cannon Scorches Jack Smith’s Case Against Trump, Cites Biden’s Double Standard

During a South Florida courtroom hearing, Judge Aileen Cannon strongly criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents.

Cannon highlighted a perceived double standard in justice, referencing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Joe Biden’s similar actions.

She questioned the legitimacy of charging a former president under the Espionage Act and scrutinized the timing and basis of the indictment.

The proceedings suggest Trump’s case faces challenges and could be viewed as politically motivated, contrasting with Biden’s handling of classified materials. Dismissal of Trump’s case would signify a victory for democracy, according to commentators.
