A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did not have the legal authority to appoint a special master to review the documents the FBI seized during the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta stepped in to stop the L.A. County Sheriff from investigating County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, a Democrat, for corruption after she claimed that Sheriff Alex Villanueva was acting on political motives.
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon sided with former President Donald Trump and appointed retired Judge Raymond Dearie to serve as the special master in the Mar-a-Lago raid case.
The special master in the Justice Department case involving former President Donald Trump’s documents seized from Mar-a-Lago could be a judge who signed off on a secret surveillance warrant on then-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Leading lights on the academic left are lashing out against Judge Aieleen M. Cannon, the federal judge in Florida who granted former President Donald Trump’s request for a “special master” to review materials seized in last month’s raid at Mar-a-Lago.
