Trump-appointed Judge Cannon to oversee initial court appearance for federal indictment.

Florida Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, a nominee of Donald Trump, is expected to initially oversee his criminal indictment in connection with his handling of classified documents after he left the White House. Cannon was assigned Trump’s case while a magistrate will handle his first appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Miami. It remains unclear if Cannon will ultimately preside over the entire case. Trump's legal team revealed on Friday that Cannon is slated to preside over the initial stage of the massive case, something that could be a vital assignment for them.
