#AileenCannon’s assignment raised eyebrows bc she has scant trial experience & had previously shown unusual #favor to #Trump by intervening in a way that helped him in the #criminal investigation that led to his #indictment, only to be #reversed in a sharply #critical rebuke by a #conservative appeals #court panel.
The extraordinary…effort by Cannon’s colleagues to persuade her to step aside adds…to the increasing criticism of how she has handled the case.
