Trump-appointed judge's potential bias raises concerns in Mar-a-Lago documents case.

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump will preside over his prosecution in a Florida court for mishandling presidential records, including national defence information. The judge, who previously oversaw another iteration of the Justice Department's investigation into Mr Trump's handling of classified records, was randomly assigned to the case under normal procedures and would only be reassigned if she voluntarily recuses herself. Critics have raised concerns about the judge's previous rulings in favour of Mr Trump and her favourable odds of being assigned the case.
