Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday delayed Donald Trump's classified documents case indefinitely. AdvertisementUS District Judge Aileen Cannon handed former President Donald Trump yet another legal win when she delayed his classified documents case indefinitely on Tuesday. It's just the latest legal win for Trump in the classified documents case handed to him by Cannon. Ty Cobb, a former Trump White House attorney, told CNN on Tuesday that Cannon's latest decision was "a combination of bias and incompetence." In light of Cannon's latest delay, Kalir said it was not surprising given her prior actions on the case.

☆ How the US Army botched a $1 billion upgrade of the Stryker armored vehicle's gun
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-18 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Fearing that its Stryker armored vehicles were outgunned by Russian and Chinese designs, the US Army had an idea for a quick fix: Develop an unmanned Stryker turret with a 30-mm autocannon. The Army obliged in 2018 with the Infantry Carrier Vehicle-Dragoon, which added a remote-controlled 30-mm gun turret — manufactured by Norwegian firm Kongsberg — to 91 flat-bottom-hull versions of the Strykers. This would be enough to upgrade Strykers in three brigades of 83 vehicles each, plus an additional 20 for testing. Instead of a Kongsberg MCT-30 turret, the vehicles would receive a Samson turret made by Israeli firm Rafael. A big red flag should have been the glitches in the turret software that degraded the 30-mm cannon's accuracy.

☆ Trump loses bids to dismiss classified docs, Georgia election cases on the same day

Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon lost two separate attempts to dismiss criminal charges against him in his Florida and Georgia cases. In Florida federal court, Judge Aileen Cannon rejected Trump's bid to drop charges against him related to his alleged mishandling of hundreds of classified documents after he left the White House. In a brief order, Cannon wrote that Trump's argument, which hinged on his interpretation of the Presidential Records Act, was an insufficient basis for dismissal. That ruling came about two hours after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee denied Trump's attempt to dismiss his Georgia election interference case on the grounds that it violated his free speech rights. The twin losses came one day after New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan denied a request by Trump to delay his upcoming criminal hush money trial.

Prosecutors in Trump's classified documents fired back at Judge Aileen Cannon. Jack Smith's team says her order for jury instructions was "fundamentally flawed." In their response, prosecutors raised the prospect of taking her order to a higher court to stop it. AdvertisementIt's also rare for jury instructions to be discussed so early on the process — especially without a trial date even set, according to the outlet. Federal prosecutors with special counsel Jack Smith's office responded late Tuesday night, saying Cannon's order rested on a "fundamentally flawed legal premise."

Trump-nominated judge Aileen Cannon this week sided again with the former president's legal team when she ruled the government's witness list in the Mar-A-Lago classified documents case should be unsealed. "It's really one after another, and the way she's handled this case shows her clear bias for Trump and the defense," Rahmani said. AdvertisementCannon has already been reversed once on appeal by the 11th Circuit in this case, when she moved to appoint a special master to oversee the review of classified documents seized from Mar-A-Lago. The 11th Circuit court sided with the Department of Justice, ultimately determining that Cannon lacked the authority to assign a special master to the case. The precedent of protective ordersRahmani said the testifying witness list will eventually be revealed to the public, as it should be, but the timing and manner of releasing information is key.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks during an event following his arraignment on classified document charges, at Trump National Golf Club, in Bedminster, New Jersey, U.S., June 13, 2023. A federal judge on Wednesday issued an order setting limits on where and how former President Donald Trump can discuss classified information with his defense lawyers for the criminal case where he is charged with retaining classified documents after leaving the White House. Cannon did not explicitly address a request by Trump to create a so-called Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF, at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, so that he could discuss classified information there as he prepares for trial in the case. Smith had opposed that request, noting, among other things, that Mar-a-Lago is the scene of the alleged crime. Smith also had opposed Trump's request to be allowed to discuss classified information in his office at Mar-a-Lago or his office at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Former President Donald Trump's trial on charges of mishandling classified documents will begin on May 20, 2024, a federal judge ordered Friday. Trump last month pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts related to his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021 and subsequent alleged efforts to conceal them from the government. The DOJ's proposal to start the trial in December, meanwhile, "is atypically accelerated and inconsistent with ensuring a fair trial," she added. Cannon's schedule laid out dozens of procedural deadlines ahead of the spring 2024 trial. The government has until Sept. 7 to turn over relevant classified documents to the defense in discovery.

On Friday, Judge Aileen Cannon set the classified documents trial date for May 20, 2024. It's now increasingly likely that Trump's legal woes bleed into the general election calendar, provided Trump wins the nomination.

Adidas is now asking West to return $75 million of marketing funds, per Bloomberg. The rapper previously said he spent $50 million of marketing money on his gospel choir tour. It relates to a marketing fund that was worth $100 million a year, according to court documents seen by Insider. Adidas says $75 million was paid into two Yeezy bank accounts, but Ye and the companies "mishandled virtually all of the marketing funds," by failing to keep it separate and spending on unauthorized purposes, per Bloomberg. In a 2020 interview on Nick Cannon's podcast, Ye said that he spent $50 million of Yeezy marketing funds on Sunday Service — his gospel choir tour that included flights to Jamaica for 120 people.

July 18 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyers are due in court in Florida on Tuesday for a hearing in which a federal judge will begin to consider how to hold a trial of the former U.S. president on charges of mishandling classified documents without publicly exposing top secret information. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland last year. Among the logistical issues Trump's lawyers and prosecutors are expected to discuss are deadlines for prosecutors to turn over classified documents that may be used as evidence and the timing for when Trump's lawyers must notify the government whether he intends to use classified documents to defend himself against the charges. The charges against Trump include violations of the Espionage Act, which criminalizes unauthorized possession of defense information. The defense has sought an indefinite delay, citing among other factors the rigors of Trump's campaign schedule.

Jury selection is one of the biggest ways in which Cannon can influence the case in Trump's favor. If Cannon grants Trump's request for a trial date after the 2024 general election, that order wouldn't be immediately appealable.

Judge Aileen Cannon is likely to preside over the first-ever federal trial of a former president.

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.

The Alliance For Hippocratic Medicine wants Judge Kacsmaryk to nullify the FDA's medical approval of mifepristone, which would effectively ban the abortion pill across the US. They argue plaintiffs are skirting the usual process of assigning cases randomly — which is mainly intended to "avoid judge shopping," as one federal court explains. Medication abortion is the most common form of the procedure in the U.S.An attorney for the ADF has rebuffed accusations of judge shopping. Trump was accused of judge shopping for Florida federal Judge Aileen Cannon, whom he appointed, when he filed a sweeping lawsuit in 2022 against his former political rival Hillary Clinton in Cannon's division in Florida. Ziegler echoed the view that even the appearance of judge shopping can erode trust in the courts.
