The federal judge assigned to the Justice Dept.’s criminal case against Trump will set the pace for how the unprecedented proceedings unfold. The Trump-nominated judge will be under intense scrutiny, not least because of her past rulings in Trump’s favor.
If Trump pleads not guilty and proceeds to trial, as expected,“Judge Cannon could delay the case at the request of Trump, either to provide time to adequately prepare for trial or to avoid interfering with his presidential campaign,” said former federal prosecutorAdvertisement
“The special counsel has thought about all of these things and how to streamline this, but it’s possible for it to get off track,” saidCannon is a former federal prosecutor, one ofwas born in Colombia, the daughter of a Cuban immigrant mother, and grew up in Miami. She is a graduate of Duke University and joined the conservative Federalist Society while a student at the University of Michigan Law School. She has spent much of her career as a litigator.
“She is one of the youngest, least experienced on the federal bench who has never had a case like this,” DeMaria said. “If Judge Cannon was at DOJ, she would not be assigned to this case.”DeMaria also said it would make sense to reassign the case because of Cannon’s decisions last fall, which he said showed her going out of her way to rule in Trump’s favor.
