CNN —Judge Aileen Cannon had been on the federal bench for little more than a year when a senior judge offered to preside over one of her first criminal trials in her isolated south Florida courthouse. In her seven years as a Justice Department attorney, Cannon participated on the trial teams of just four criminal cases. Still, Cannon has asked questions in the Trump case that appear out of left field. Her orientation toward such legal rabbit holes is not distinct to the Trump case, veterans of her courtroom say. Ultimately, nearly every attorney CNN spoke to said that Cannon, despite the criticism, is unwavering in her beliefs about how each case in her courtroom should proceed.

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.

But one former federal prosecutor turned high-end defense attorney, Ken White, sees a quick path out of trouble for Trump. That's what it looks like Trump is going to get: Judge Aileen Cannon. White suspects Cannon may be imagining what she might be able to get out of a second Trump presidency. "You have a situation where it is not even remotely difficult to imagine: Her acquitting Trump, Trump getting elected, Trump elevating her to the 11th Circuit or the Supreme Court. "People are saying that by charging Trump you're riling up his base.

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.
