Judge Aileen Cannon indicates that she might dismiss the classified documents case against Donald Trump due to selective prosecution. This comes after questioning Jack Smith's team on why no other President or Vice President in the United States has been charged under the Espionage Act for taking or keeping classified materials, a situation that involves 32 counts against Trump.
NOTE: The hearing in a Florida court is occurring just days after former Special Counsel Robert Hur confirmed that Joe Biden broke the law by willfully retaining classified documents and sharing them with his ghostwriter for a book from which he made at least $8 million. The judge appeared to question why there was one standard for Trump and another for all Presidents and Vice Presidents before him.
NOTE: While it's too early to conclude, based on the questioning, the judge does not seem convinced by many of the arguments presented by Jack Smith ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
