A former U.S. attorney general and noted “good friend” of Rudy Giuliani’s has entered Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case as a friend of the court to argue alongside other conservative legal heavyweights that special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Wednesday granted an unopposed motion to add Michael Mukasey, the 81st U.S. attorney general who served during George W. Bush’s presidency, as an amicus curiae.
