Judge Aileen Cannon will begin three days of hearings that could determine the future charges against Donald Trump related to classified documents. Trump argues that the special counsel Jack Smith, who brought charges, was unlawfully appointed. Cannon is allowing attorneys for non-profit groups and former officials to join the debate, which is unusual for a criminal case. They will argue that Smith lacks authority due to not being confirmed by the Senate. Previous attempts by Hunter Biden's team to dismiss charges based on the special counsel's appointment were struck down.
