In a major development, Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. In a 93-page decision issued on Monday, Cannon ruled that the appointment of a special master to review the documents was unlawful and unconstitutional.

Details of the Ruling

In her decision, Cannon argued that the appointment of Special Master Raymond Dearie was "unnecessary and inappropriate." She also criticized the Justice Department for its handling of the case, saying that the government had not provided sufficient evidence to support its claims.

Cannon's ruling is a significant victory for Trump, who has been under investigation by the Justice Department for mishandling classified documents. It is unclear what the next steps in the case will be, but it is likely that the Justice Department will appeal Cannon's decision.
