TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The federal judge at the center of the dispute over documents taken from former President Donald Trump’s estate is a member of a prominent conservative legal society who has had brushes with other politically-sensitive cases during her short time on the bench.
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump in 2020 and confirmed just days after the presidential election, had faced criticism Monday for siding with the former president and his legal team in their request for a special master to review material taken from Mar-A-Lago during the FBI’s search in early August.had publicly chided Cannon for her ruling, claiming that she was overly-deferential to Trump’s legal team and was generally untested.
“She is obviously very bright. Obviously very conservative. And obviously very inexperienced,” said an experienced South Florida attorney who was granted anonymity because he could have cases before Cannon in the future.The court had randomly-assigned the Mar-a-Lago case to the 41-year-old Cannon. But in April, Trump had sought to get an unrelated racketeering lawsuit against Hillary Clinton before the Southern District of Florida, where Cannon is a judge. That case went to Clinton-appointee U.
While the Mar-a-Lago case is by far the most high profile case before Cannon, she also oversaw a criminal case involving Paul Hoeffer, a 60-year-old Palm Beach Gardens man who threatened to behead Speaker
