Hi,

The federal classified documents case against Trump is in jeopardy because
of the judge overseeing the case — Judge Aileen Cannon.

Judge Cannon was appointed by former president Trump AND she’s issued
rulings in favor of Trump, like when she blocked authorities from using
the classified documents in their investigation while the review was
underway, slowing the investigation.^1 Higher courts called her attempts
to delay DOJ investigations into Trump a "violation of bedrock
separation-of-powers limitations."^2

Cannon's past rulings raise serious concerns about her ability to rule
impartially in this case against Trump.

case.

Last year, Judge Cannon ordered a "special master" to review the
classified documents that federal officers found at Mar-a-Lago. Then, she
issued the second judgment blocking authorities from using the documents
in their investigation.^3

Federal law requires a judge to step away from a case in which
impartiality "might reasonably be questioned."^4 Given Judge Cannon's
previous rulings in Trump's favor, it’s clear that her impartiality is in
doubt.

The integrity of America’s rule of law and independent courts are on the
line. Will there be a fair, ethical trial to hold Donald Trump accountable
for thirty-seven felony counts surrounding missing classified documents?

If we cannot rely on federal courts to hold Trump accountable for his slew
of alleged crimes, our democracy and the rule of law is in serious danger.
