Cannon rebukes Jack Smith in denying motion to limit Trump FBI comments – The Washington Post
The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case said special counsel Jack Smith made the request without giving defense lawyers time to respond.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon on Tuesday denied a request from federal prosecutors that she order Donald Trump to stop making incendiary claims about law enforcement personnel, saying the government should have more thoroughly consulted with Trump’s attorneys before coming to her.
The judge, who is overseeing Trump’s classified documents criminal case in Florida, strongly rebuked special counsel Jack Smith, who submitted his motion after the former president and his political campaign issued statements that said, “Biden’s DOJ was authorized to shoot me!”
