A retired federal judge and two groups of legal experts are asking the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to remove U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon from former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case. Special counsel Jack Smith is appealing Judge Cannon’s dismissal of Trump’s indictment for mishandling classified materials at Mar-a-Lago. The groups argue that Cannon’s rulings raise concerns about her impartiality, citing delays and decisions that defy Supreme Court precedent. They seek permission to file amicus briefs urging the court to reverse Cannon’s dismissal and reassign the case.
