Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday denied Trump’s motion to dismiss some of the charges in Jack Smith’s classified documents case.
President Trump and his co-defendant Walt Nauta filed a motion to dismiss charges related to obstruction and false statements.
Cannon denied the motion but removed a paragraph in Jack Smith’s superseding indictment.

Fox News reported:
The federal judge presiding over the classified documents case against former President Trump has denied a motion to dismiss some of the charges in the indictment.
Trump’s legal team had sought to throw out more than a half dozen of the 41 counts in the indictment, which accuses the former commander in chief of illegally hoarding classified documents from his presidency and conspiring with others to conceal sensitive files from the federal government.
The defendants had challenged counts related to obstruction and false statements, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued an order Monday saying that “the identified deficiencies, even if generating some arguable confusion, are either permitted by law, raise evidentiary challenges not appropriate for disposition at this juncture, and/or do not require dismissal even if technically deficient, so long as the jury is instructed appropriately and presented with adequate verdict forms as to each Defendants’ alleged conduct.”
Judge Aileen Cannon will hold an expanded hearing on the validity of Jack Smith’s special counsel appointment.
President Trump previously filed a motion to dismiss Jack Smith’s classified documents charges based on the “unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel.”
The evidentiary hearing is set for June 21.

I’m not surprised, I know she is perceived as more Trump friendly than the other Judges in these cases. But I figured she wasn’t going to get out in front of the Supreme Court with the Presidential Immunity case only days or weeks from coming down. If the Supreme Court ruling goes in Trump’s favor, Cannon will have MUCH more solid grounds to dismiss.
You make good points.
Now, I too will be waiting to see what, if anything, the Supremes have to say about this.
“Fearless” Judge Roberts will do his level best to ‘kick the can’ backwards or forwards.
The Trump lawyers are doing their process as they should, and the Judge will delay it as t should be!
Time is on Trump’s side on this by this Judge!
One out of many is better Than None!
(But I figured she wasn’t going to get out in front of the Supreme Court with the Presidential Immunity case only days or weeks from coming down. If the Supreme Court ruling goes in Trump’s favor, Cannon will have MUCH more solid grounds to dismiss.)
Great logical thinking. This is all about strategy and Cannon knows what she’s doing.
It’s a tax.
She’s also being very cautious in not giving them anything they can appeal on procedural grounds.
That’s correct, Bob.
The way the media has been coming out everyday with anti Alito and Thomas crap, the Supremes (the conservatives) will be skeered to rule in a way that will help Trump. Thus, the reason for the unprecedented rants against conservative justices. Never seen anything like this before. There is a reason for the MSM piling on like this, and now it will take a lot more courage and backbone for the good guys to do what they know they should do. Figure on Roberts (at least) yielding to the pressure.
This is good. It means Judge Cannon’s trial of Jack Smith can continue. If she had dismissed the case, then Jack would have skated on this.
Jack Smith should be in prison.
I think she enjoys making the feds release more documents and embarrassing themselves
bkmk
Thx...love having legal eagles on FR
No matter who it is all the judges in America are corrupt to the core! They belong to the dr drunk with power corrupted club and main banana in the club tells you how to run your court and you better obey or else you’ll become an outcast. I’m sorry, but I trust no judge in America. They are corrupt to the bone! These are self inflicted ones they have costs on the judicial system! There’s no way of repairing the system…they’re just corrupt communist Marxist! And we haven’t seen nothing yet wait until the brainwashed communist Little bastards from the socialist colleges become judges, and lawyers. Never thought I would live to see all of this corruption never. Americans are so screwed!
Sharing his cell with james comey, and dozens of fbi, cia, doj and other thieves that have corrupted the law.
Jack Smith is a product of a corrupt system that started with J Edgar Hoover, the original fag head of the fbi and every corrupt one that has followed.
Judge Aileen Cannon will hold an expanded hearing on the validity of Jack Smith’s special counsel appointment.
That needed to be addressed long ago he’s not legally appointed he’s just another chimp Biden tossed into the arena.
Democracy denied the democrat way.
Exactly. Kneel on the ball and run out the clock. We have the ball and there are 40 seconds remaining. The other team has no time outs.
If she dismissed everything, she is no longer in charge. Jack Smith could refile in a DC court with a slight change in the charges or something.
