Judge Cannon of Florida continues to use her discretion to benefit Donald Trump, delaying any potential trial proceedings this year. The judge’s recent actions go beyond the specific charges, as she delves into the legality of Trump’s appointment and funding, dragging the case.
Despite the far-fetched claims that Trump’s appointment is unlawful, Judge Cannon sets hearings to discuss the matter, inviting outside parties to present their opinions in an abnormal full-day session on June 21.
The shuffle in the trial calendar includes canceling a multiday hearing initially set for June 24-26, adding further uncertainty to the timeline of the case against the presumptive GOP nominee in Florida.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Georgia state prosecution faces challenges, with efforts to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. In Washington, a federal election interference case against Trump awaits progress.
Compared to the efficient movement in other cases, Judge Cannon’s prolonged proceedings raise questions about how she may handle the potential trial, creating further delays and legal complexities.
With the likelihood of appeals and ongoing legal battles, Judge Cannon’s rulings in this case become crucial before any further progression is made.
