Read our privacy policy The judge in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, Aileen Cannon, declined private requests from two federal judges that she step aside from the case after she was assigned to it last year. Aileen Cannon was urged not to take the classified documents case Cannon has since appeared combative against prosecutors, been slow to take care of pretrial motions and put the trial on hold despite both sides indicating they could be ready to begin proceedings this summer. Judge Cannon is the only federal judge in the courthouse in Fort Pierce, about two hours north of Miami, which didn’t have a classified documents facility when the case was assigned to her. The George W Bush nominee reportedly told Cannon that it would look bad for her to be in charge of the trial because of what occurred during the investigation that prompted Trump’s indictment.
