Judge Aileen Cannon's Tactics Stall Trump's Criminal Case Progress

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointed federal district judge in Florida, has been accused of deliberately slowing down the criminal case against Donald Trump, who is charged with hoarding classified documents and obstructing the government's efforts to retrieve them. While Cannon has officially set a trial date for May 2022, experts believe her slow pace and postponement of key pretrial deadlines will likely result in a delay, potentially leading to the trial never happening if Trump wins the election and orders the Justice Department to shut it down. Cannon's approach contrasts with Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, who is overseeing another federal criminal case against Trump and has been determined to stick to the trial timeline.
