Judge Aileen Cannon Requests Briefs on Supreme Court Decision Impacting Trump Cases

The judge seeks input from both sides on how a recent ruling affects the legality of funding for Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations.

Cannon has asked for legal briefs on a Supreme Court decision regarding the appropriations clause by June 11.
The decision could influence the legality of funding for Smith's role in Trump's classified documents and election interference cases.
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey has joined the case as an amicus curiae to support arguments against Smith's appointment.
Legal experts criticize Cannon for delays and perceived bias in favor of Trump, potentially affecting trial timelines.
The classified documents trial may not proceed before the November 2024 election, raising concerns about judicial impartiality.
