Judge Aileen Cannon's 'Significant' Mistakes in Trump's Documents Case Trial

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's trial for retaining White House documents, made significant errors during a separate criminal trial earlier this year, raising concerns about her credibility. In the June trial, Cannon refused to allow the public, including the defendant's family, into the courtroom during jury selection, violating the Sixth Amendment. She also failed to swear in the jury pool, leading to a restart of the selection process. While these issues did not affect the resolution of the case, legal experts question Cannon's lack of experience and ability to handle the complexity and public interest surrounding Trump's trial.
