In something not entirely unlike an “all hands” call to action, Republican attorneys general from 20 different states are now trying to convince a federal court of appeals that the Mar-a-Lago documents indictment against Donald Trump should remain dismissed.
The 33-page amici curiae — or friends of the court — filing was submitted late Friday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. The motion purports to represent the states of Florida, Iowa, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, And West Virginia.
In yet another iteration of a sustained legal pile-on, the brief argues special counsel Jack Smith was appointed to his position “unlawfully” — in violation of strong, time-honored executive, or presidential, authority.
“[U]nlike a U.S. Attorney, Smith faces next-to-zero presidential accountability,” the brief reads. “He was not appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Nor is he subject to the plenary supervision of an official who was.”
