TL;DR Summary

Federal prosecutors in the Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago classified documents case are subtly challenging Judge Aileen Cannon's rulings by citing a case she worked on at the DOJ, in an effort to block Trump's attempts to turn the case into a "wild goose chase against the Biden administration." The prosecutors argue that the former president's defense team's request for government documents under the guise of "selective prosecution" is a fishing expedition to delay the trial, and they are reminding Judge Cannon of her own past case law that sets clear restrictions on such legal maneuvers. Despite this, the judge has made controversial rulings favoring Trump, causing uncertainty over the timing of his upcoming trials in New York and Washington, D.C.
