The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case said special counsel Jack Smith made the request without giving defense lawyers time to respond.
Aileen M. Cannon, the Florida judge initially assigned to oversee Donald Trump's classified documents case, answers questions during her nomination hearing by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington in July 2020 in a still image from video. to stop making incendiary claims about law enforcement personnel, saying the government should have more thoroughly consulted with Trump’s attorneys before coming to her.
Cannon said the emergency request lacked “professional courtesy” and crammed important facts about the request in an “editorialized footnote.” She denied the motion “without prejudice,” which means prosecutors could raise the issue again in the future, presumably in a manner that would address Cannon’s concerns.Trump’s attorneys quickly pushed back against the request over the weekend and said that Smith and his prosecutors “willfully disregard required procedures.
As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Trump has pushed hard to be allowed to publicly criticize those involved in all four of his criminal trials — creating a challenge for judges as they try to balance Trump’s First Amendment rights with protecting the judicial process and the safety of those who are part of it.
The document — which was attached to a Trump motion to dismiss his Florida indictment that was unsealed by the court last week — explains long-standing FBI policies; much like police officers, FBI agents are essentially always authorized to use deadly force when it is necessary and legally justified, and when they are operating in the United States.
