The federal judge who appointed Trump's special master just threw out his lawsuit against the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago
A federal judge officially dismissed Trump's Mar-a-Lago lawsuit. The judge, Aileen Cannon, dismissed the case over "lack of jurisdiction." Cannon, 41, was a Trump nominee.
A US federal judge in Florida who appointed the special master for former President Donald Trump just tossed his lawsuit against the FBI's raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in a Monday one-page order that she was dismissing the case because of a "lack of jurisdiction."
The ruling comes after a three-judge federal appeals court on December 1 wrote a scathing opinion overturning Cannon's initial decision to side with Trump and grant him a special master to review documents taken in the FBI's search. Less than week later, a federal appeals court in Atlanta formally ended the review.
Trump's team had the option to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, but didn't do so.
