Rep. Grijalva on Dismissal of Trump Mishandling Sensitive Documents Case

WASHINGTON - Today, Representative Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-07) released the following statement:

"The dismissal of this case for a supposed unconstitutional appointment of special counsel by a Trump-appointed judge reflects clear bias for the former president and the outlying opinion of the far-right wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Special counsels have been commonly used for more than a hundred years to ensure the impartiality of investigations and potential prosecutions. To dismiss this case would be a miscarriage of justice. I urge Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith to appeal this egregious decision to the 11^th Circuit Court of Appeals."
