Overview

• 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.
