Welch statement on judge’s dismissal of classified documents case against Trump

Vermont Business Magazine Today, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vermont) released the following statement:

“Judge Cannon’s misguided ruling undermines the rule of law and our national security. Time and time again in this litigation, Judge Cannon has stacked the deck in favor of the former President. In dismissing this case, Judge Cannon has now thrown out decades of established precedent and threatened the integrity of executive branch investigations in service of a political objective. The lack of judicial independence apparent in her ruling is stunning. It is my expectation that the ruling will be appealed and overturned.”
