Trump defends Judge Aileen Cannon at DOJ speech

newsweek.com

President Donald Trump defended Florida Federal Judge Aileen Cannon during a speech at the Department of Justice, calling her a "model" judge. He suggested that criticism of her handling of his case may not be "legal." Cannon, appointed by Trump, presided over his federal case regarding classified documents. She previously dismissed the case, which garnered her praise from Trump and his supporters. Trump's comments come amid ongoing criticism of Cannon's rulings. Some legal experts argue that criticism of judges is protected by the First Amendment and that judges should not face impeachment for their decisions.
