Smith didn't call for Judge Cannon's removal from Trump's classified documents case in a recent court filing.
Special Counsel Jack Smith 'waived' the right to request Florida Judge Aileen Cannon be recused from Donald Trump's classified documents case in a recent court filing, according to a former prosecutor and district attorney.Joyce Vance, the former U.S. attorney for the northern district of Alabama, made the claim on the CAFE Insider podcast she co-hosts with Preet Bharara, another former U.S. attorney.
Vance added: 'In the 11th Circuit, if you don't make an argument in your opening brief, you've waived it, so Jack Smith will not be able to make the argument in his reply brief or oral argument.'Newsweek reached out to Smith through the Department of Justice press office via online contact form and Donald Trump's legal team via email for comment.
