The Dramatic Meeting Now Stalling Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Case
An off-hand remark—or a terribly misconstrued one—by a federal prosecutor at a private meeting with a defense attorney in Donald Trump’s classified documents case is once again rearing its ugly head, posing yet another speed bump in the former president’s already severely delayed trial.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon has already earned a reputation for making bizarre rulings that always favor the man who appointed her to the bench, pushing back a trial that could have started long ago.
Now comes another opportunity for Cannon to potentially side against Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith—this time over a wild story about potential prosecutorial misconduct by a key member of his team.
