Even Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon apparently has her doubts about Trump’s attorney’s argument against federal prosecutor Jack Smith’s legitimacy as special counsel.
Emil Bove, who is representing the former president in his stolen documents case, argued in court on Friday that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was “unconstitutional.” Bove went on to say that Merrick Garland’s ability to appoint Smith was comparable to the power of a “shadow government.”
Cannon, who has repeatedly refused to pass the case to another judge and has been accused of delaying the trial every step of the way, didn’t buy the Trump team’s line.
