Scrutiny over Trump-appointed judge in Mar-a-Lago case

TL;DR Summary
Aileen Cannon, a judge appointed by former President Donald Trump, has been assigned to handle his classified documents case in the southern district of Florida. However, her impartiality has been questioned due to her favorable rulings for Trump in the past. Some legal experts suggest that the justice department should sidestep the dilemma by asking the district's chief judge to reassign the case on administrative grounds. The chief judge has the authority to do so out of concern for the appearance of justice.
