Legal Experts Critique Aileen Cannon's Handling of Donald Trump Case

TL;DR Summary
Judge Aileen Cannon, overseeing Donald Trump's classified-documents trial, has been criticized for requesting competing scenarios from both sides regarding the interpretation of the Presidential Records Act to be given to the jury before deliberations. Legal experts have condemned this request, with some calling it "legally insane." Trump is seeking to dismiss the federal case, claiming the PRA allowed him to determine the sensitive materials he took from the White House as his personal property. The trial is scheduled for May 20, but Cannon is expected to postpone the start of proceedings in a future decision.
