Special counsel Jack Smith's latest filing may be a signal that he is preparing for an appeal after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon failed to rule on key matters in her highly anticipated hearing last week and previously rejected Smith's bid to shield witnesses in the case.
Two prosecutors in Smith's office, James Pearce and Cecil VanDevender, submitted notices of appearance in the former president's classified documents case on Wednesday, New York Times legal reporter Alan Feuer reported.
