Former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at an event after being accused of mishandling classified documents. Special counsel Jack Smith is asking a federal appeals court to overturn a decision to dismiss the case.

Smith believes that the U.S. attorney general has the power to appoint special counsels. This is a developing story, please check for updates.
