The judge in Donald Trump's classified documents trial had two law clerks leave their roles early, a legal commentator said.
The court where the judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case resides said on March 21 it could not confirm a report that two of her law clerks quit in recent months.In his blog Original Jurisdiction, former federal prosecutor turned legal commentator David Lat reported that Judge Aileen Cannon has seen members of her staff prematurely leave their roles at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, which legal experts described as a rare and unusual move.
He continued: 'It's highly unusual for a clerk to quit on a judge. Because a federal judicial clerkship typically lasts one year and is an extremely valuable credential, most clerks will 'ride it out' instead of quitting, even if they're miserable or have issues with their judge.''For a law clerk to quit before the year is up often involves an extremely unpleasant situation in chambers,' he added.
