Florida Judge Aileen Cannon had a stern response for Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith and prosecutors in a filing posted Sunday in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case.In the filing from the Southern District of Florida's West Palm Beach Division, Cannon, appointed by Trump in 2020, said she's 'disappointed' that Smith asked her to keep information from the public in order to protect grand jury secrecy and witness safety.
In Sunday's order, Cannon cites Smith's previous position on unsealing documents 'in order to publicly and transparently refute defense allegations of prosecutorial misconduct raised in pretrial motions.''In two separate filings related to sealing, the Special Counsel stated, without qualification, that he had no objection to full unsealing of previously sealed docket entries related to allegations of prosecutorial misconduct,' Cannon stated.
