The case involving former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, specifically the Mar-a-Lago seized docs case, has sparked significant tension between the prosecutor, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and Judge Aileen Cannon. Smith has expressed a blistering response to Cannon's decisions, challenging her competency and impartiality, particularly over her jury instruction order. This tension has led to discussions within the legal community, with some praising other judges' handling of Trump's criminal cases, while others criticize Cannon's actions as politically motivated and describe Smith's potential move to remove Cannon from the case as using a 'nuclear button'. An expert explained Judge Cannon's 'ominous' message to Smith, which is seen as great news for Trump. This situation has generated a wide range of reactions, from those who view Cannon's stance as beneficial for Trump to those who see it as indicative of a compromised judiciary.
