"Special Counsel Raises Alarm Over Threats to Witnesses in Trump's Mar-a-Lago Trial"

Legal analyst Andrew Weissmann criticized U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's handling of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, warning that she was "playing with fire" and likely to anger the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Cannon, appointed by Trump in 2020, has been accused of making decisions favoring Trump, including granting delays in the trial date and allowing more classified information to be unredacted for Trump's legal team. Special counsel Jack Smith criticized this decision, expressing concern about potential threats to witnesses.
