Court: S.D. Fla.Docket: 9:23-cr-80101
Ask Pace anything about United States v. Trump
United States v. Trump (Case No. 9:23-cr-80101) is a landmark federal criminal prosecution filed in the Southern District of Florida before Judge Aileen Cannon. The case centers on the alleged willful retention of classified national defense information at Mar-a-Lago following the end of the Trump presidency in January 2021. Special Counsel Jack Smith led the prosecution, presenting evidence of over 300 classified documents discovered during an FBI search in August 2022. The indictment alleged violations of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 793), obstruction of justice, and conspiracy charges. Documents allegedly included military attack plans, nuclear weapons information, and intelligence sources. The case was dismissed by Judge Cannon in July 2024 on grounds that the Special Counsel's appointment violated the Appointments Clause, a decision currently under appeal.
