Judge Aileen Cannon Just Can't Quit Trump; Refuses to Step Off Trump-Related Case of Ryan Routh - Glenn Kirschner
Judge Aileen Cannon's favoritism and bias in favor of Donald Trump is well-established. And the law provides that even the appearance of bias and favoritism (no actual bias/favoritism is necessary) warrants the removal of a judge from presiding over a case.
The defendant charged with plotting a Trump assassination attempt, Ryan Routh, filed a motion to have Cannon recuse herself from his case given that Trump is the victim.
In a typically unpersuasive ruling, Cannon refused to leave the case, making clear that Cannon just can't quit Trump or Trump-related cases. - Glenn Kirschner - 10/30/2024.
