Former President Donald Trump has reacted in a social media post, after Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon tossed out the classified documents case brought against him by the Biden Justice Department.
Cannon ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the prosecution, was unlawfully appointed to his role by Attorney General Merrick Garland and did not have the authority to bring the case.
Trump wrote in response to the ruling:
“As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges.
“The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again!”
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also reacted to the ruling.
“Documents case dismissed! Another example of weaponized injustice down the tubes. Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, and their Democrat henchman take another L. If we eliminate this nonsense once and for all this incredible country still stands a chance! Can’t stop winning!!!” Trump Jr. wrote.
