Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon Assigned to Documents Case.

Former President Donald Trump's criminal case involving his handling of sensitive government documents will be overseen by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointed judge in South Florida. Cannon was involved in legal wrangling last year stemming from the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. Trump was indicted on charges involving the retention of national defense information, conspiracy, and obstruction. He denies wrongdoing and has announced changes to his legal team.
