As Trump's 2024 presidential campaign heats up, the indefinite postponement of his trial by a judge he appointed stirs controversy and legal scrutiny.
- Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Donald Trump, has indefinitely postponed the trial over classified documents, originally set for May 20, 2024.
- Critics argue Cannon's decisions could be seen as politically motivated, potentially influencing Trump's campaign by avoiding a pre-election trial.
- Legal experts express concern over Cannon's slow handling of motions, which contrasts with typical judicial procedures.
- Speculation arises that if Trump wins the election, his administration might intervene in ongoing cases against him.
- Observers note that Cannon's rulings could set a precedent for future judicial appointments if Trump is re-elected.
