Trump-appointed Judge's History Raises Concerns in Mar-a-Lago Case.
TL;DR
Legal scholar Laurence Tribe expressed concerns over reports that Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, could be presiding over his criminal trial. Critics have accused Cannon of being too "pro-Trump" and ruling in his favor in the past. Tribe warned that her history of "pro-Trump interventions" could cast a shadow over the trial and called on her to recuse herself. Cannon was randomly assigned to oversee the case unless she recuses herself.
