Trump cites Judge Cannon in seeking compensation for the Mar-a-Lago search
The Trump appointee, who dismissed one of the former president's criminal cases, features in a potential lawsuit against the government Trump wants to head again. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon and the Supreme Court have already helped Donald Trump in his criminal cases. Now he's using them to support his request for civil damages, too. A lawyer for the former president is citing Cannon and the justices in a filing that serves as a precursor to a possible federal lawsuit stemming from the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago property and subsequent charges for alleged unlawful retention of national defense information and obstruction.
