Cannon is overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal classified documents case.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's documents case against former President Donald Trump has been handed a new hurdle from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.Trump is facing 40 federal felony charges related to his post-presidency retention of classified documents and alleged attempts to obstruct the government's efforts to retrieve them. The former president, who was convicted on 34 unrelated felony counts in New York last month, has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Cannon wrote in her decision that it was 'the obligation of this Court to make factual findings afresh on the crime-fraud issue,' while arguing that the 'standard means by which to make such findings' is by holding 'an evidentiary hearing at which both sides can present evidence.'Smith's team had urged Cannon to avoid holding the hearing over concerns that it would become a time-wasting 'mini-trial.
