SCOTUS gives Cannon "even more power"

The Supreme Court’s decision to take up former President Donald Trump’s immunity appeal in the D.C. election subversion case suddenly gave the judge overseeing his Florida classified documents case, “even more power” than she already had, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday scheduled arguments in Trump’s bid for presidential immunity from prosecution in D.C. for late April, stalling the case for months. The decision came as U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee overseeing the Florida case, is expected to reconfigure the timeline for Trump’s Florida trial as soon as Friday, according to Politico. The Florida trial has been scheduled for May 20 but has long been expected to be pushed back due to delays caused by fights over pre-trial motions and classified evidence.
