Special counsel Jack Smith has asked a federal appeals court to pause his appeal of the dismissal of President-elect Donald Trump's classified documents case.

As of now, we don’t know how Smith intends to proceed in Florida. But his reply brief, the closing brief in the appeal now before the 11th Circuit, is due Friday. It’s possible DOJ intends to push forward to resolve the legal issue, if possible, but still intends to wrap the case up before the end of the administration.
