Watchdog Group Urges Removal of Judge Cannon from Trump Documents Case
CREW argues Judge Cannon's rulings show bias favoring Trump, calls for reassignment if dismissal is reversed by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed an amicus brief asserting Judge Cannon's bias in favor of Trump.
- The group claims Cannon's decisions undermined the prosecution and violated legal precedents.
- CREW's brief is supported by retired Judge Nancy Gertner and two judicial ethics scholars.
- Cannon's rulings included dismissing the case on grounds that critics say ignore statutory authority and Supreme Court precedent.
- Legal experts predict the 11th Circuit will reverse Cannon's dismissal, but concerns remain about potential Supreme Court rulings.
