Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney, called Judge Aileen Cannon's latest Mar-a-Lago case order 'perplexing.'
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case has given the jury routes to find the former president not guilty in a 'perplexing' court order, an attorney has said.Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing the Republican nominees' Mar-a-Lago indictment in which Trump was charged with retaining national security information—including U.S. nuclear secrets and plans for military retaliation in the event of an attack—and obstructing efforts to retrieve them in June 2023.
''I've never had a judge say, 'you know, I have no idea what the law is here, so lets make a couple of different assumptions about it, and even though they're both wrong, give me some ideas,'' she added.'The assumptions in Judge Cannon's two scenarios virtually direct the jury to find Trump not guilty, by suggesting that a president can hold onto any government property he wants to as long as he designates it as personal before he leaves office.
