Legal Experts Concerned About Judge Cannon's Ruling in Trump's Criminal Cases

TL;DR Summary
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon denied Donald Trump's motion to dismiss a case involving mishandling of presidential records, prompting former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner to interpret her ruling as potentially biased. Kirschner believes Cannon's decision to wait until after the jury is sworn in before potentially giving a "lawless jury instruction" favoring Trump is concerning. The case involves special counsel Jack Smith's clash with Cannon over jury instructions related to the Presidential Records Act.
