Former judges are “baffled” over U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s orders this week in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, The Washington Post reports.
Cannon on Monday ordered Trump’s lawyers and special counsel Jack Smith’s team to submit competing sets of potential jury instructions around competing interpretations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires presidents to turn over their records to the National Archives. Trump’s lawyers argue the PRA gave Trump the right to keep classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
