Court Halts Complaints Against Judge in Trump Documents Case

Federal appeals court stops accepting complaints against Judge Aileen Cannon, citing an orchestrated campaign

Chief Judge William Pryor issued an order to stop accepting complaints against Judge Cannon after receiving over 1,000 filings.
Many complaints were part of a campaign led by a lawyer critical of Trump, seeking Cannon's recusal.
Critics argue Cannon's delays in the case benefit Trump's defense, potentially impacting the 2024 election.
Legal experts note the complaints lack sufficient evidence to warrant Cannon's removal.
The court emphasized that complaints must be based on judicial ethics violations, not disagreements with rulings.
