'Bias and incompetence': Ex-Trump lawyer shreds Judge Aileen Cannon over trial delay

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon was publicly shredded Tuesday by Donald Trump's onetime White House counsel over her decision — which he called biased and incompetent — to indefinitely delay the former president's classified documents case.

Ty Cobb appeared on CNN's "Out Front" to slam the Florida federal court judge and bemoan the plight of special counsel Jack Smith, who has accused Trump of multiple violations of the Espionage Act.

"All she's really done today though is make official what everybody, including Special Counsel Jack Smith, already knew," Cobb said. "She had no intention of getting this case to trial, and she wasn't competent to get this case to trial."

In her five-page ruling, Cannon claimed that setting a final trial date at this stage would be "imprudent and inconsistent" with ensuring a fair trial.

"The ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial," the judge wrote.

Cobb found Cannon's reasoning to be mere window-dressing.

"She talks about for duty to fully and fairly consider the pending motions — she's had months to do that, and did very little," he said.

Cobb argued Cannon slow-crawled the case past the point that it can be tried before the presidential election — in which Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee — on Nov. 5.

Should Trump regain the White House in 2025, he could potentially kill the federal court cases against him. Cannon's delays, Cobb argued, are inexcusable.

"She may merely be incompetent, but now, this is a combination of bias and incompetence," he said. "The things that she has done here are really inexplicable and it's tragic."

Cobb rebutted Cannon's claim that her delay will honor the public's interest in the administration of justice.

"She has not honored the public's interests for one day in this case," Cobb said. "She has sat in her office apparently paralyzed from a ruling on easily resolvable motions."
