Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the federal criminal case against Donald Trump charging him with amassing highly sensitive national security secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate and then obstructing government efforts to reclaim them. Cannon, in a 93-page ruling, concluded that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional. Smith is likely to appeal the ruling. A spokesman for his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps … legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers,” ruled Cannon, who is a Trump appointee.

President Joe Biden used a rare Oval Office address on Sunday to condemn political violence and pleaded with Americans to turn down the temperature in the increasingly toxic political system after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. “A former president was shot. An American citizen was killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. We cannot, we must not go down this road in America. We’ve traveled it before throughout history. Violence has never been the answer,” Biden said. “In America, we resolve our differences at the ballot box,” he continued. “Not with bullets.” More soon at the link below. https://lnkd.in/ezcpunMa

Important questions around the attempted assassination of Donald Trump remain unresolved, but one is already prompting calls for an investigation: the glaring failure of the Secret Service to protect the former president. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper team after he opened fire from a building overlooking the rally, killing one attendee and wounding Trump. His ability to reach that rooftop, where he had a direct shot at Trump, is among the most immediate areas of review. Link below for full story. https://lnkd.in/e_qwz9m8

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump shocked the nation — but not everyone was totally surprised: It was “almost just a matter of time,” said political violence expert Rachel Kleinfeld. Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told us the shooting at Trump’s rally Saturday comes amid a huge rise in threats and violence against lawmakers, judges and others engaged in the political process. She said while the attack *could* help fuel further violence, it doesn’t have to. In American history and abroad, political violence can be tamped down — but the public also has to want it. Swipe for some of Kleinfeld’s thoughts on how the U.S. can curb political violence, or read her full Q&A at the link below. 📷 Scott Goldsmith for POLITICO https://lnkd.in/ee5EwY4h

As Joe Biden’s support continues to crumble, his party is reckoning with the possibility of a punishing defeat in November — a potential GOP wave that would not only elect Donald Trump but also sweep away Democrats from power in Congress. Biden’s chances in critical Sun Belt states like Arizona and Nevada are dwindling. Blue safe zones like New Hampshire are suddenly in play. And some big donors are threatening to withhold millions of dollars in pledges to pressure the president to step aside. All these forces are fueling panic that Biden could drag down the rest of the ticket so badly that Democrats not only fail to win back the House, but could also hand Trump and Hill Republicans big-enough majorities to actually carry out huge GOP priorities. “It’s over,” said an aide to a battleground Democrat.

Officially, NATO doesn’t want to set new goals on what countries should spend on their own defenses until next year. Unofficially, no one could stop talking about it at the NATO Summit.
2 percent on defense? That is so last year.
