Florida federal district judge Aileen Cannon has once again curiously accommodated the former president who appointed her, Donald Trump, easing him out of the tight spot he’d been put in by Judge Raymond Dearie — the very special master whom she herself appointed at Trump’s request, but who has proved markedly less than accommodating.
Judge Dearie had directed Trump’s legal team, in essence, to back up his public claims that (a) he’d declassified documents that were seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate by the FBI pursuant to a search warrant; and (b) the FBI had planted incriminating evidence at Mar-a-Lago. In a six-page order issued on Thursday, Judge Cannon rejected this ultimatum.
