Judge Aileen Cannon Faces Scrutiny in Trump Assassination Attempt Case

Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, requests recusal of Trump-appointed Judge Cannon over impartiality concerns.

Ryan Routh is accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course on September 15, 2024.
Routh's defense argues that Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump, should recuse herself due to potential conflict of interest.
Judge Cannon previously dismissed federal charges against Trump in a separate classified documents case.
The Department of Justice contends there's no legal basis for Cannon's recusal based on her appointment by Trump.
Routh's trial is set for February 10, 2025, with charges including attempted assassination and weapons offenses.
