Atlanta, GA – Today, Judge Cannon dismissed the entire federal criminal case against former President Trump over his handling of classified information. Cannon concluded that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“Judge Cannon made the right decision, and we applaud her for it. There is no question that Jack Smith’s appointment was illegal, making his indictment against Trump illegal. The only question was whether Judge Cannon would have the courage to dismiss the indictment. She did. This is a big win not just for Trump, but also for the rule of law. The Democrats’ weaponization of government against conservatives must come to an end.”
