U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon said she will hold a hearing for Donald Trump’s lawyers to challenge some of the evidence gathered against him for alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.
Cannon is the lead on Trump’s defense team.
Under the new Supreme Court guidelines will it be legal for him to provide a gratuity when she’s done helping him? She deserves one.
And she will give each side multiple weeks to comment, then weeks to respond to comments, then even more weeks to receive amicus briefs, then hold the hearing and dismiss the challenges.
I have been uncertain whether Cannon was just a not-very-bright neophyte judge, or in the bag for Trump. But this ruling (to grant another hearing challenging the basis for the search at MAL) goes beyond the pale.
I pray and hope that Jack Smith is preparing an appeal to remove the trial from her.
