TL;DR Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith criticizes Florida Judge Aileen Cannon for causing "significant risks of threats" to witnesses in the classified documents case against former president Donald Trump, as she rejected calls to recuse herself and ordered prosecutors to submit unredacted documents containing sensitive information. The government prosecutors argue that making this information public poses a risk to potential witnesses, while Trump's legal team seeks indefinite postponement of trial deadlines. The case involves 91 charges across four indictments, and Trump aims to delay trials until after the 2024 election, potentially allowing him to appoint prosecutors who could drop the charges if he returns to the White House.
