Judge Aileen Cannon Cuts Hearing Short, Blasts Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Prosecutor For Wasting Court’s Time
Judge Aileen Cannon cut a hearing short and blasted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutor for wasting the Court’s time.
A Thursday hearing in the classified documents case against Trump abruptly ended after Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, accused DOJ prosecutor David Harbach of “wasting the court’s time,” according to The Palm Beach Post.
Harbach argued that attorneys Stanley Woodward and John Irving should not be able to represent Trump’s co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos Oliveira because the attorneys’ other clients could be called in to testify against them.
The DOJ prosecutor, in a last-minute legal argument, said the lawyers have a conflict of interest.
Judge Cannon abruptly ended the hearing and blasted Jack Smith’s prosecutor for not addressing this issue in any of the court filings leading up to the hearing.
