After a tumultuous year of legal proceedings culminating in a surprising ruling dismissing the classified documents indictment against Donald Trump, prosecutors are facing challenging odds in attempting to have Judge Aileen Cannon removed from the case if it is revived.
Special counsel Jack Smith could potentially request the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals to reassign the case to a different judge as part of his appeal of Cannon's ruling. However, legal experts suggest that the appeals court is unlikely to grant such a request, citing lack of malfeasance or grounds for removal.
