Judge Aileen Cannon Grants Trump Delay in Docs Case After SCOTUS Ruling
Judge Aileen Cannon granted former President Donald Trump’s request to delay impending deadlines in his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case on Saturday in the latest fallout from the Supreme Court’s recent presidential immunity ruling.
Trump’s legal team requested the stay on Friday, citing the SCOTUS decision which gives the president immunity when executing “official acts,” according to NBC. The team requested further briefing on the issue of immunity.
The Trump-appointee, who has reportedly been urged by her colleagues to pass the case onto another judge, abided by the former president’s request.
