Former President Donald Trump has proposed multiple arguments stating the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was not conducted properly. As of Thursday, his legal representatives have initiated several motions to push for the dismissal of this federal lawsuit.

This case pertains to allegations made against Trump that he illegally retained classified documents after his term of office wrapped up in January 2021, while hindering the federal government from securing these materials. Trump's determined defense vehemently denies the total of 40 charges leveled against him, sticking firm in his claim of innocence.

One of the defenses presented by Trump's attorneys is the assertion that Trump can rightfully seek absolute immunity. Additional arguments put forth by the legal representation hinge on the belief that the Presidential Records Act sanctions Trump's decision to hold onto these documents post-presidency, as these were classified as his possessions during his term in office. These detailed presentations further clarify that the former President's legal team continues to raise objections to his riddled session and later charges, but all fall within legal boundaries.

The documents filed by Trump's legal team underscore that an earlier objection raised had pointed out a significant dilemma that is directly connected to the Appointments and Appropriations clause. The argument suggests that the Appointments Clause does not allow for the Attorney General to assign a like-minded ally, who is a private citizen, to exercise the United States' prosecutorial power without confirmation by the Senate. As such, they reason that Jack Smith has no jurisdiction to prosecute in this case.
