AG Merrick Garland Criticizes Judge Cannon's Dismissal of Trump Case, Defends Smith Appointment

Attorney General Merrick Garland has expressed strong disapproval of Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to dismiss the case against Donald Trump. Garland defended his appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith, asserting that he would not make a 'basic mistake about the law.' He criticized the notion that the appointment was unconstitutional and highlighted that the Independent Counsel Act expired in 1999, replaced by an internal DOJ regulation. Garland also noted that Jack Smith was not confirmed by the Senate, a point of contention among critics. Garland ripped into Cannon's decision, defending the special counsel appointment.
