Cannon also ordered the unsealing of documents Smith’s team had filed in the case earlier this month in order to make them public. Prosecutors argued to have the materials remained sealed because they could reveal Smith’s court strategy.
Former DOJ prosecutor Andrew Weissmann previously said that he believes Smith should take action against Cannon and potentially seek to have the judge removed from Trump’s case. Weissmann’s comments followed Cannon’s denial of Smith’s request to have the judge set a deadline for Trump’s Classified Information Procedures Act.
Possibly the biggest disappointment of this whole situation is that it has nothing to do with an Alien Cannon no matter how often I misread the name “Aileen”.
Please they going keep letting Trump get out of consequences until the next election. Lets hope he loses so maybe then they will have no choice but to lock him up then.
If we can get one built before the election, we can fire Trump out of it and into the sun.
She should be removed from case and impeached.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday pressed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to grant his request for a speedy trial in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case for the ninth time.
But the former president’s legal team has requested a delay in the proceedings, claiming that the current schedule does not provide sufficient time for the defense to prepare, given the high volume of evidence against Trump in the Florida case.
Smith noted in his filing that the court has already ordered that the current trial timeline applies to Trump’s co-defendants in the case, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira.
According to the document, Trump, Nauta and de Oliveira reviewed Smith’s filing before it was presented to Cannon and “authorized the Government to represent that they concur with it.”
Former DOJ prosecutor Andrew Weissmann previously said that he believes Smith should take action against Cannon and potentially seek to have the judge removed from Trump’s case.
Weissmann’s comments followed Cannon’s denial of Smith’s request to have the judge set a deadline for Trump’s Classified Information Procedures Act.

Aileen Cannon is a disgrace, and her continued presence on the bench–not just overseeing this case–is fatally damaging the legitimacy of the federal judiciary.
