Slow Pace of Trump’s Florida Case

Author’s Note: This is the first of two columns on the status of the federal prosecution of Donald Trump in Florida, in which Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith has charged the former president with 32 counts of illegally retaining classified documents and eight counts of obstruction. The second column will be published in the coming days.

The Lawyer Left’s onslaught against Judge Aileen Cannon had to pause briefly last week, not for the first time, when the Florida federal judge ruled in favor of special counsel (for now) Jack Smith — rejecting the attempt by one of former president Donald Trump’s co-defendants to have the criminal case thrown out as a vindictive prosecution.
