The former president was in Florida on Friday, where a federal judge he appointed signaled she could push back the trial in his classified documents case
The start date for the Florida trial on Donald Trump‘s mishandling of classified documents is in the hands of a judge the former president appointed to the federal circuit.
The trial, currently scheduled to begin May 20, is likely to be delayed after prosecutors and defense attorneys met at a federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump to the Southern District of Florida in 2020, said the timeline proposed by prosecutors for a trial this summer was “unrealistic.”
The hearing ended Friday without a new start date, though Cannon said the proposed schedule needs “some space” and “flexibility,” according to CNN.
Why is a judge Trump appointed overseeing his case?
There are only 3 federal judges in Florida So Trump has a 1-in-3 chance of getting Cannon
There are openings for more but when Biden tries to appoint one, the Republicans in Florida block it.
This way, Trump is more likely to get judge Cannon
The conservatives packing the courts through obstruction when they aren’t in power and then rushing them through when they are is underreported. Hell, two of the current SCOTUS are prime examples of that very thing.
She should have to recuse herself.
