In a recent move, Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida rejected two sealed filings presented by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

POLITICO's senior legal correspondent, Kyle Cheney, reported on Twitter that Judge Cannon demanded clarifications from the special counsel regarding the use of an "out-of-district grand jury proceeding" in the ongoing document investigation.

Judge Cannon, appointed during the Trump administration, commented on the Special Counsel's filings, stating they lack a "sufficient legal or factual basis" for the sealing request, and subsequently denied the motion.

The Judge emphasized the need for the prosecution to justify their use of an out-of-district grand jury for ongoing investigations. She expects a response by August 22nd on this and other raised points.
