Judge in Trump's classified documents case questions use of out-of-district grand jury in probe

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is demanding answers from Smith on his office's use of another grand jury to purportedly continue to investigate Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office, even though Trump has already been indicted on charges by a separate grand jury impaneled in Florida.

The development came in a stinging ruling Judge Cannon issued Monday morning, in which she ordered two sealed filings submitted by Smith on her docket struck from the record.
