Prof. Ilan Wurman Quoted in USA Today About Classified Documents Dismissal

Prof. Ilan Wurman’s comment on X regarding the dismissal of Donald Trump’s classified documents case was quoted in USA Today. Within hours of the ruling, the Justice Department authorized an appeal, and several legal experts said special counsel Jack Smith may even try to get federal Judge Aileen Cannon off of the case. Some in the legal community defended Cannon’s ruling suggesting it could be upheld at the Supreme Court. On X, Prof. Wurman wrote that no law “obviously suggests” Congress gave Garland the power to appoint Smith. “Judge Cannon’s ruling isn’t crazy, and it might even be right.”
