Report Aileen Cannon will oversee Donald Trump case sparks backlash
Donald Trump's upcoming federal criminal case on obstruction and espionage act charges could be overseen by the controversial judge who'd previously sought to limit investigators' ability to view evidence in the case. And the former president's opponents are none too happy about it.
On Thursday, the former president announced on his social media platform Truth Social that he had been on a series of federal charges related to a sweeping probe into allegations he'd illegally removed classified information from his time in the White House and, later, attempted to obstruct a federal investigation into the alleged crimes.
The U.S. Department of Justice is seen on June 09, 2023, in Washington, D.C. Yesterday former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media app Truth Social that he had been indicted for mishandling classified documents he kept upon leaving office and obstruction of evidence.However, Smith's team almost was unable to view a substantial part of that evidence. And he will now face the prospect of prosecuting a case under the judge who was integral in attempts to block them.
During Trump's countersuit against the federal government in 2022 intended to stall the investigation, Cannon oversaw a process in which Trump's legal team pursued the appointment of a"special master" to review the evidence in the case to determine what would be admissible in court.
