Judge Cannon insists she's not 'resource-wasting' by granting Trump another hearing

Raw Story  

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon denied former President Donald Trump's claim that omissions in a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago would have nullified the "probable cause" standard. However, she also said she would hold yet another hearing on Trump's attempt to prevent special counsel Jack Smith from piercing attorney-client privilege. "he Motion offers an insufficient basis to believe that inclusion in the affidavit of that official's perspective would have altered the evidentiary calculus in support of probable cause for the alleged offenses," Cannon wrote. "Aileen Cannon, in explaining how she's going to waste some more time, says HER frivolous crime-fraud hearings are not time-wasters," Wheeler wrote on X. Cannon declined to immediately schedule the attorney-client privilege hearing and has not set a trial date.
