NPR: A retired federal judge says Judge Cannon appears to show ‘favoritism’ toward Trump
Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, continues to make decisions that puzzle many legal observers.
Last month, Cannon delayed the start of the trial indefinitely. She’s taken months to make routine procedural decisions.
Trump is charged with taking classified and top-secret material with him to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House and then taking part in a conspiracy to hide documents from federal investigators.
The Trump’s Trials team wanted to know how someone who has served on the federal bench views Cannon’s decisions, so we called retired federal Judge Shira Scheindlin. Appointed by President Bill Clinton, she served as a federal judge for over two decades.
NPR reached out to Judge Cannon’s office for a response and received a statement from her court that their judges do not comment on pending cases.
