Special counsel Jack Smith asks court to halt his appeal against Trump in Florida case

Special counsel Jack Smith is asking an appeals court to halt his appeal against President-elect Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified and top-secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Smith did the same in the D.C. election interference case last week.

The news comes after Fox News confirmed that Smith will be stepping down before Trump takes office.
