This one is longer and busier than the one that i just went down welcome to the lead on jake tapper, we start today with our Law Injustice lead aid and Special Counsel jack smith and blasting the judges approach in Donald Trumps classified documents case in florida, basically suggesting the judge, Aileen Cannon does not understand whats going on in new Court Filings jack smiths team claimed the judge Cannons Recency recent actions were based on a quote, fundamentally flawed understanding of the case. One that has no basis in law or fact, unquote. This constitutes a remarkably harsh critique of judge cannon, a trump appointee, and how she is doing her job no clear sign that prosecutors are quite worried that her actions could and will benefit the defendant. Donald trump. Cnns paula reid starts off our Coverage Today with a closer look at exactly what the Special Counsels team is requesting and the trump teams counterarguments we very much look forward to presenting our case to a jury of citizens in the Southern District of florida. A trial in the maralago classified documents case. A pure is highly unlikely to happen before the 2024 election. And Special Counsel jack smith, expressing frustration with judge Aileen Cannon new filing late tuesday, smiths team said cannon had ordered briefings based on a fundamentally flawed legal premise that had no basis in law or fact by sincere thanks to the president for his nomination. Prosecutors harshly criticizing the trump appointed judges request for hypothetical the cold Jury Instructions. She asked both sides to take into account the former president s claim that he had Broad Authority to take classified documents under the president ial records act, whatever documents are president decides to take with him, he has the right to do so. Its an absolute right. Prosecutors have repeatedly said that law is not relevant because trump is accused of obstruction and storing highly classified material in a bathroom and other unsecure locations at his florida estate. Prosecutors also point out that telling a jury that trump had the authority to take records he wanted from the white house would make get nearly impossible to secure a conviction. Prosecutors insist that legal premise is wrong, and a Jury Instruction that reflects that premise would distort the trial, but trumps attorneys, who are also asked to weigh in here, suggested that the judge tell jurors trump was authorized to possess a category we have documents defined as personal records, both during and after his term in office. The idea that classified documents belonged to trump, smiths team said is pure fiction. I was traveling for 37 years. I have never seen an order like this form or federal judge Jeremy Fogler says, the government will likely appeal if he makes that decision and then the case goes to trial and then hes acquitted as he certainly would be with that instruction the government has no recourse. Theres double jeopardy, but an appeal will likely further delay the trial. Something trump has been seeking in all his criminal cases. Critic say cannon is playing right into that strategy. She has yet to decide more than a doesnt outstanding issues, including setting a firm date for the trial and how much witness information to keep under seal over a month, ago, cannon heard arguments from both sides about when this case should go forward. Its currently penciled in for may, but expected to be delayed. Now at this point, as she still has not revealed, when this will go forward, it doesnt expect it. Itll be before november but that is significant because if former President Trump is the elected j key would likely have his Attorney General dismiss the Special Counsel and both of these federal cases. I dont think theres any likely about it so get a caveat it, you know, it will definitely have visited Attorney General dismiss it. Paul, stick around because i want to bring in former federal prosecutor, jean rossi, gene. First of all, what do you make of this filing by the Special Counsels . Kane. It im not a lawyer, but it seems unusual for i am right. So it seems unusual to me for a prosecutor to attack a judge in this way. Well, let me just say this. If i were an Eastern District for virginia and i filed that pleading i probably would be held in contempt the language that he used jack smith at all and he has to assistants that are varsity it was pretty pretty pointed, pretty caustic, and i infer from the filing that jack smith and his team do not have a lot of respect for the judge and thats unfortunate because in every case you tried to show some respect, but i think the gloves are off in this case and thats why they made that filing and how might judge cannon respond based on what we know about her. So she seemed skeptical about this idea that the whole case should be dismissed. Thats based on this president ial records act offense. But the big question with Aileen Cannon is always okay. She doing what shes doing to help trump obviously doing it because hes an experience. One of the few people was better in the court with her for this case. And its clear she is aware of the scrutiny. Shes trying very hard to at least give the appearance of being fair, being tough on both sides. Her inexperienced shows through and her lack of command or the courtroom. And then is over doesnt motions that she has piling up, but i have learned dont guess what Aileen Cannon is going to do it because its many experts have said, i mean, what she is doing is just so unusual. So given how unusual it is is there any chance that this case might be taken away from her . Is that possible to get a judge recused is a very hard, but high bar, but i think we are almost Crossing The Rubicon were jack smith and his team are going to say, you know what . Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose. Were going to file a motion and to get her off this case because shes already been shuafat two times by the Appellate Court, and i just want to comment on pauls saying this case has penciled in for may. It is the lightest pencil in the history of the United States america, invisible ink. Its invisible inke. Yes. If the Special Counsel loses, this argument judge cannon decided shes going to let the jury here instructions saying that trump had complete authority to take the records he wanted from the white house does that just mean that this is going to be a Slam Dunk Case for donald trump well, if that instruction is given to the jury after jeopardy attaches, when a jury takes the oath, trump is going to be acquitted but whats going to happen if she doesnt rule if he doesnt rule for jack smith or doesnt rule at all, theyre going to try to take her up on Writ Of Mandamus to get her to basically do job. I will say this pop out a Writ Of Mandamus is a Writ Of Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy where you go to the Appellate Court or to Supreme Court and you say force the person whos below to do their job and it can be applied to a judge. It can be by the clerk of a court, but its basically youre telling a judge or spellmon below to do their job. Thats a Writ Of Mandamus gone. Yeah. I wanted to say this. Paul brought up a good point. Aileen cannon. I hope i got her name right. Aileen cannon is relatively inexperienced. And in my 30 years doing prosecutions and defense and i have never seen a judge more indecisive in my entire career. And its kinda sad because this is one of the biggest cases we will ever have because it involves foreign President Trump. Its kinda sad in a way, but it is the reality of this matter. And paula, theres this other new filing the separate trump case, the new york hush money case, which is scheduled to start in less than two weeks. Whats the latest filing here . The trump team is trying everything they can to try to get that case pushed back just yesterday, they were pushing for the judge to be recused again. And here are their arguing that the case should be adjourned because of pretrial publicity. All what they described as as the bad publicity the around trumps criminal cases. But prosecutors push back on that and say, look, pretrial publicity is not a reason to adjourn this case. Anyone with a bias or a viewpoint can be weeded out during jury selection. This is unlikely to succeed, but i will caveat, were supposed to be in that trial right now is to begin early last week. Now its scheduled for the 15th. We dont fact therell be any delay, but i caveat everything around these trump criminal cases. Theres no guarantee that they will go before november and theyre trying to have him recused because his daughter is a democratic operative who has worked for kamala harris, i think is this idea gene of pretrial publicity, is that a strong argument . Its a difficult argument. Theres a famous case from 1966 ohio Versus Sheppard maxwell Versus Sheppard. It was dr. Shepard, he his case was reversed because of pretrial publicity. The facts were regis, but heres the problem with Donald Trumps argument hes created the pretrial publicity. He has intentionally poisoned the potential jury pool. So its like somebody who kills parents and goes before the judge and says, im an orphan, so be nice to me thats thats what hes doing here. And this motion is going to fail likely with lawyer jokes. That geographic and follow, right. Thanks so much. Appreciate it.
