Can Aileen Cannon Be Removed From Trump Case?

It would be extremely difficult to remove a Trump-appointed judge from former U.S. President Donald Trump's federal criminal trial in Florida, legal experts have told Newsweek.

Prosecutors objected to Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to delay the pre-trial schedule in the case where Trump is charged with mishandling classified documents recovered from his Mar-a-Lago estate in south Florida.

Cannon's decision could significantly delay the trial, which is due to start in May.

Stephen Gillers, law professor at New York University, told Newsweek that Special Counsel Jack Smith would face major hurdles in efforts to remove Cannon, who was appointed a federal judge by the Trump administration.

for one side or the other, OR a charge of bribery, corruption, malpractice, or maladministration could be grounds for her removal by the supervising judge.

IMO it will still take a major failure on her part....Although events may yet prove me wrong.
