Judge Aileen Cannon is likely to preside over the first-ever federal trial of a former president. Cannon, 42, has been assigned to oversee Trump's trial, according to a summons cited by numerous news outlets. At that time, a magistrate judge on duty — and not Cannon — is expected to oversee the proceedings. The judge will likely decide whether to set bail, and read the charges against Trump before he enters a plea. "Judge Cannon is a great judge who I am very proud to have enthusiastically supported," Rubio told Insider through his office when asked about the connection.

Kellyanne Conway helped route a payment to Clarence Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, according to the Washington Post. It's the latest ethics scandal to hit Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. According to a report from the Washington Post, conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo wanted to send thousands of dollars to Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Clarence Thomas, in 2012. Though Justice Thomas didn't cite the nonprofit's brief, he did vote in favor of the side they supported. The silent payment to Ginni Thomas is the latest in a series of ethical concerns to surface surrounding Justice Thomas' financial affairs, including his cozy relationship with billionaire Harlan Crow, who paid for lavish vacations, bought Thomas' mother's house, and paid for his child's education.
