MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance claimed that the public will not have 'confidence' in any ruling determined by Judge Aileen Cannon, because of her past decisions involving former President Trump.
Joyce Vance said the American public will not have 'confidence' in any ruling determined by Judge Aileen Cannon, whether she she 'acquits or convicts' former President Trump.against former President Trump to recuse herself on Sunday, claiming the American public will not have"confidence" in her rulings as long as she presides over the case.
Cannon was assigned at random to handle the federal criminal case against Trump, but Vance called on the judge to recuse herself claiming that Cannon's role in the case will shake public confidence in the court given her"track record," which Vance said could"hamper her decision-making.""She was selected fair and square…[but] the reality is, in a case like this, the public won’t have confidence whether she acquits or convict," Vance said.
As part of that case, Cannon temporarily barred federal agents and prosecutors from reviewing a batch of classified documents seized during the search. Her order was ultimately thrown out by a federal appeals court, which found she had overstepped. Lam argued that Cannon's legal past with Trump is a"red-herring" but isn't a substantial basis for her to recuse herself from the case. Vance disagreed with Lam, asserting that Cannon should pass the case to another judge to avoid"any appearance of impropriety.""This is about how the public will view this case," Vance said.
