Judge Cannon Faces Scrutiny Amid Surge of Complaints in Trump Case

Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hold an extensive hearing on Donald Trump's request to invalidate Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment, allowing various political partisans and constitutional scholars to join the arguments. This move is unusual and contrasts with other federal judges who have swiftly moved to trial in similar cases. The hearing, scheduled for June 21, will include arguments from three groups, two supporting Trump and one backing the Department of Justice's use of a special counsel.
