Jack Smith

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen on Wednesday knocked special counsel Jack Smith for filing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in Florida, where he risked his case getting taken up by Judge Aileen Cannon.

In breaking down Cannon's decision to indefinitely postpone the Trump classified documents case, Eisen argued that Smith could have avoided Cannon-related headaches had he just been a little more patient.

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.

Conservative writer Julie Kelly, a frequent Fox News guest, celebrated Tuesday after she said U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon launched a "scorched earth campaign" against special counsel Jack Smith.

In a Tuesday ruling, Cannon not only indefinitely suspended Donald Trump's trial date but also scheduled a series of hearings that could be designed to trip up Smith.

Outrage mounted Tuesday after Florida federal court Judge Aileen Cannon ruled to indefinitely delay former President Donald Trump's classified documents case.

Cannon's newest ruling vacates Trump's May 20 trial date without setting another, arguing it would be "imprudent" to do so with multiple pre-trial motions pending, court records show.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed the trial date for Donald Trump and his co-defendants in a case where he is accused of mishandling classified documents.

The trial, initially set for May 20, 2024, was vacated to allow time for the resolution of numerous pre-trial motions and issues related to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA).

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly personally intervened to get rebellious Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to drop her crusade against House Speaker Mike Johnson.

ABC News reports that Trump recently talked with Greene and asked her to end her efforts to oust Johnson as speaker by stressing that the Republican Party needed to be "unified" and that the most important thing to do right now was to expand the GOP's razor-thin House majority.

The judge overseeing the former president's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case lived it up at an all-expenses-paid retreat for right-wing federal jurists at a $1,000-a-night resort in Montana near Yellowstone National Park, reported Lucian K. Truscott IV for Salon.

"It's called the Sage Lodge in Pray, Montana, and it’s where George Mason University sends gaggles of federal judges for a week-long 'colloquium' every year or so," wrote Truscott — all paid for by the Antonin Scalia Law School, named for the late justice who ironically died on a ranch getaway paid for by right-wing benefactors.

One of Donald Trump's employees who has been charged in the Mar-a-Lago case has already provided testimony that could be used in an eventual trial — even though he stopped cooperating as soon as he was indicted, CNN reported.

Newly unsealed court filings show Walt Nauta told a grand jury two months before an FBI search in August 2022 about boxes of classified documents he handled in a storage room at the resort, agreeing with one grand juror who asked if he would "just pick some off the top" while leaving others, reported CNN.

Rebellious Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reportedly laid out her demands to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) during a contentious meeting about her efforts to get him ousted from his position.

Punchbowl News reports that Greene made a number of asks during a meeting with Johnson that included a guarantee that he would not pass more military aid for Ukraine, a pledge to defund special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutions of President Donald Trump, and that "Johnson only advance legislative priorities that have the support of the majority of the majority — an adherence to the so-called Hastert Rule."

Judge Aileen Cannon delivered Donald Trump an "indefinite trial delay" in his classified documents case, according to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance.

On Monday, Vance broke down Cannon's decision to "temporarily" stay the requirement for Trump to produce his critical Classified Information Procedures Act filing.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) faced public mockery Monday when he announced another investigation into a prosecutor who has levied criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

Jordan and the House Oversight Committee shared on X that the Ohio Republican plans to investigate special counsel Jack Smith's handling of the Florida federal court classified document case after he admitted to inconsistencies linked to evidence scans.

Former President Donald Trump is pushing a new grievance in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case — and trying to use it as a basis to throw yet another monkey wrench in the trial.

Trump's co-defendant and body man Walt Nauta recently accused prosecutors of not providing an "accurate" index of the boxes of documents used as evidence and while special counsel Jack Smith denied most of their claims, made some admissions, according to a new report from Law & Crime.
