True or False: This case was similar to the constitutional challenge against special counsel Jack Smith in Trump's classified documents case.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. According to the Washington Post, "Lawyers defending President Donald Trump in his classified documents case last year made a similar argument about special counsel Jack Smith, and convinced a federal judge appointed by Trump in his first term to toss the indictment." Both cases involved Appointments Clause challenges arguing that federal officials were improperly appointed and should be considered "principal officers" requiring presidential nomination and Senate confirmation.
