Judge Dismisses Trump Classified Documents Case Following Assassination Attempt

On Monday, a judge dismissed the federal charges against former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents.

Trump had been accused of improperly storing sensitive government documents at his home after his presidency, potentially risking national security.

The case focused on whether he violated the law by not securing these important documents.

However, the judge ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, leading to the dismissal.

Even if appealed, a recent Supreme Court ruling grants all former presidents immunity for official acts during their tenure.

This decision comes just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
