A federal judge in Florida dismissed the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump on Monday.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed with Trump’s lawyers, who argued that the charges were filed by special counsel, Jack Smith, who was illegally appointed by the Justice Department.
Judge Cannon’s decision can be challenged and changed by a higher court, but for now, it stops a case that was seen as a big legal problem for Trump. The case had been delayed, and a trial before the November election was unlikely.
This ruling is a big legal win for Trump as he recovers from an assassination attempt and prepares to accept the Republican nomination in Milwaukee this week.
