“The defendant, Julien Giraud Jr., argues that the Trump appointee’s bombshell ruling last summer dismissing a federal criminal case against Trump by finding that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional applies equally to Trump’s temporary U.S. attorney pick, Alina Habba.
Giraud’s attorney Thomas Mirigliano says the workaround Trump used to keep Habba in place after a 120-day interim appointment expired directly conflicts with Cannon’s ruling.
“As Judge Cannon explained in Trump, when executive officials deliberately engineer an appointment in violation of statutory and constitutional mandates, the only effective remedy is dismissal or, at the very least, disqualification of the unconstitutionally appointed officer and her subordinates,” Mirigliano wrote in a filing Wednesday.
