Moving down to Florida, where Trump's classified documents case is
set to take place,
the federal judge overseeing that case rejected special counsel Jack
Smith's request for a gag order and also slammed prosecutors
for not following the court's rules.
Now, what did Jack Smith's team do wrong in the
eyes of this judge?
And the judges opinion, they did not give Mr.
Trump's team enough time to respond to this request for
a gag order.
Now, of course, that has irked the judge,
but it's also worth noting that this judge in particular
is very controversial.
Judge Aileen Cannon, she was nominated by then President Trump
and she has made previous rulings that have delayed the
possibility of this case coming to trial before the election.
Now, of course, she would say that those decisions are
legally defensible,
but they have drawn quite a lot of criticism.
From people who fear that she's put in a thumb
on the scales of justice.
So has there been any movement on this case since
the judge delayed the start of the trial indefinitely?
And not, not a whole lot,
really. I mean, this case is one of the most
intriguing ones because a lot of legal experts believe that
the prosecution case in this one,
which is the Mar A Lago documents case,
is perhaps the single strongest of any of the four
that former President Trump faces.
But the chances of it taking the trial taking place
before the election seem to be diminishing all the time.
And I think that's why,
firstly, there's so much focus in New York,
because it may be the only case that goes to
trial before the election.
But it also, I think,
speaks to why there has been so much criticism of
Judge Cannon from people who are critical,
either of her or of Mr.
Trump.
