Judge Aileen Cannon will not preside over Trump arraignment: report

Controversial U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will not preside over the arraignment of former President Donald Trump for the alleged mishandling of national defense documents, it was reported Monday.

Although Trump's case was randomly assigned to Cannon, the arraignment will be handled by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman.

According to the Miami Herald, Cannon has not been taken off the case.

"Cannon, who had been widely reported to be handling those duties, will still remain on the historic case as the lead judge," the report said.

Goodman was described as a "well-regarded veteran magistrate who once worked as a newspaper reporter."
