Federal prosecutors in Florida have moved to dismiss the appeal in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, signaling an end to the legal battle. The motion, still pending approval from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, follows Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that former special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.
The decision would also unwind charges against Trump’s co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, who were accused of helping conceal classified documents. Neither opposed the motion, which would bar future attempts to relaunch the case.
The case also involved legal disputes over Smith’s report on Trump’s handling of classified materials. Judge Cannon blocked its release, calling it “detailed and voluminous.”
Charges against Trump were dropped at Smith’s request after his re-election, but the case alleged he retained 300 classified records, leading to Espionage Act charges.
