Two of Cannon's fellow judges urged her to remove herself from the classified documents case, according to a new report.
Aileen Cannon drew scrutiny after The New York Times reported she declined to recuse herself from overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents trial, despite two judges advising her to do so.DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with illegally storing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House in 2021 and resisting federal efforts to retrieve the files.
There is nothing binding about the advice from those judges, but would only help Smith if he were to seek her removal from the case, he said, noting their recommendation was made 'before the multitude of decisions that appear to favor President Trump.''It is abundantly clear that Judge Aileen has appeared to have lost all sense of objectivity in this matter,' he said.
