Aileen Cannon Sides With Donald Trump Over Counterintelligence Chief [View all]

Source: Newsweek

Published Mar 12, 2024 at 7:37 AM EDT

Judge Aileen Cannon has granted Donald Trump a delay in his classified documents case, despite intense objections from prosecutors. Cannon granted Trump a 10-day extension after hearing that he and his lawyers are preparing for Trump's Stormy Daniels hush money trial in New York, which begins later this month.

The objection was placed in court by Jay Bratt, chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice. Bratt has been brought in to the case as a specialist legal adviser as national security documents were allegedly found at Trump's Florida estate.

Trump is facing 40 federal charges over his handling of sensitive materials retrieved from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after leaving the White House in January 2021. He is accused of obstructing efforts by federal authorities to return them. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is almost certain to be the Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

He is also due to go on trial on March 25 to face 34 charges over allegations he instructed attorney Michael Cohen to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep an alleged affair between her and the former president a secret ahead of the 2016 election. Trump is accused of listing the payment to Cohen as "legal fees." The former president denies having an affair with Daniels.
