The appointment of special counsel Jack Smith is facing potential challenges due to an amicus brief filed by attorneys for former Attorney General Ed Meese, arguing that Smith’s appointment by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is unconstitutional.
The brief asserts that the office Smith holds has not been created by Congress and violates the “Appointments Clause” of the Constitution.
It argues that Smith lacks the authority to represent the United States and that his appointment violates the separation of powers. (Trending: Sports Icon Dies Suddenly At 56)
Trump wrote, “Biden’s Flunky, Deranged Jack Smith, should go to HELL.”
“He is helping his Corrupt and Incompetent President to destroy America through Weaponization and ELECTION INTERFERENCE! Smith is a Crooked Prosecutor who shouldn’t even be allowed to be in the position he is in — It is Prosecutorial Misconduct. The Great Ed Meese from the Ronald Reagan Era has him figured perfectly!” continued the former president.
Trump’s attorneys wrote that Jack Smith is “Not properly clothed in the authority of the federal government, Smith is a modern example of the naked emperor. Illegally appointed, he has no more authority to represent the United States in this Court, or in the underlying prosecution, than Tom Brady, Warren Buffett, or Beyoncé.”
The case is scheduled for oral arguments on January 9, 2024.
