Judge Aileen Cannon has made a decision to not recuse herself from the criminal case involving the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Cannon stated that she has no personal relationship with Trump, who nominated her to the federal bench, and she cannot control what he or others say about her.
In her ruling on Tuesday, Cannon emphasized that she has never had any direct contact with Trump and has never met him. She also expressed that she is not influenced by any potential political consequences of her rulings.
