Cannon\'s direct superior was among the judges who suggested she should step aside.
The Alto Lee Adams Sr. United States Courthouse, where U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is holding a hearing regarding former President Donald Trump on May 22, 2024, in Fort Pierce, Florida.details how Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointed federal judge who is overseeing the trial regarding Trump’s removal of classified government documents from the White House after leaving office, was encouraged by other judges to remove herself from the case.
It’s unclear why the judges asked Cannon to consider leaving the case. Such an action is highly unusual, though not unheard of, and usually occurs when a judge who has little experience is still learning the ropes in their new position.
Cannon’s actions are advantageous to Trump, as his lawyers are employing delay tactics in order to help him avoid a trial altogether. If Trump is elected president in November, he can appoint a new attorney general that will likely dismiss the charges against him.“We’re way beyond the point of characterizing her merely as inexperienced. … The reality is, she is slow and she’s slow on purpose,”, who represented Trump in the early years of his presidency.
