A federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump has been assigned to another criminal case involving Trump, according to court documents. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled in Trump’s favor in a previous case against the government following its execution of a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago resort. In the new case, authorities allege that Trump illegally kept classified materials and other sensitive documents beyond his presidency at Mar-a-Lago and showed some of the materials to other people in New Jersey in violation of federal law. Trump denies the charges and says he declassified the classified materials before leaving office. Prosecutors can file an affidavit asking that Cannon recuse herself from the case if they believe she cannot be fair due to personal bias or prejudice. Given the reversal of Cannon’s ruling last year, there already appears to be a fair ground for disqualification, said a University of Miami law professor. Cannon has also been a member of the conservative legal organization, the Federalist Society.
