The judge presiding over Donald Trump's latest criminal case gave her first order since the historic arraignment earlier this week, ordering defense attorneys to contact the DOJ to expedite the process of obtaining security clearance.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered defense attorneys Thursday to contact the Justice Department to expedite the process of obtaining security clearances to be in compliance by no later than June 20."On or before June 16, 2023, all attorneys of record and forthcoming attorneys of record shall contact the Litigation Security Group of the U.S.
Cannon, 42, was appointed by Trump in November 2020 and has a relatively short resume in criminal cases, having presided over just four trials since her appointment. In September 2022, Cannon ruled in Trump's favor on a lawsuit he filed two weeks after the FBI raided his home in Mar-a-Lago in August, siding with his request to obtain an independent special master to review documents seized by the FBI. She also ordered the DOJ to pause its review of the records, though the entire special master process was tossed by a higher court in December.
