Judge Aileen Cannon signalled to Donald Trump's lawyers that they might have path for permanently ending Trump's classified documents case in Florida
Prosecutors would instantly lose their classified documents case against Trump if a trial judge finds the charges are too vague, a former federal prosecutor has said.Writing in her legal blog Civil Discourse on Friday, Joyce Vance said that the government would have no right to appeal in such a 'nightmare scenario' because a defendant cannot be retried after a jury has been sworn in.
'The judge dismissed the vagueness argument—but just for today,' Vance wrote. 'She did it 'without prejudice' which means that Trump's lawyers could raise the argument again later in the case. In fact, the judge seemed to do just that in her order, essentially inviting the defense to raise the argument again at trial,' Vance added.Cannon ruled that the vagueness motion turns at least in part on 'disputed factual issues'.
