Attorneys for former President Donald Trump on Thursday asked a judge to dismiss the January 6 case against him, arguing that special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed, according to The Hill.Â
Smith was not confirmed by the Senate but was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Smith has been leading two investigations into the former president, including a classified documents case and a probe into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The classified documents case has been dismissed but Smith is appealing the dismissal.
