How Trump's Would-Be Assassin Forced Government's Hand on Aileen Cannon
Routh, the man accused of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Florida, has forced the federal government to comment on Judge Aileen Cannon's impartiality when overseeing his classified documents case.
The suspect, accused of planning to shoot the Republican presidential candidate at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach on September 15, filed a 10-page motion last week asking for the judge to recuse herself.
Trump was facing 40 federal charges in Cannon's court over his alleged handling of sensitive materials seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after leaving the White House in January 2021. He was also accused of obstructing efforts by federal authorities to retrieve them.
Cannon dismissed all charges after ruling that special counsel Jack Smith, the chief prosecutor, was illegally appointed.
Routh said he wanted that because Cannon was appointed by Trump and therefore could not be impartial, citing her dismissal of the case, which was filed in her district.
"This motion presumes that this Court would preside over this case impartially," the October 17 filing reads. "However, given the heightened stakes and the public scrutiny, there should not be any doubts about even the appearance of impartiality of the presiding judge."
Routh's attorneys also said that Trump has repeatedly praised Cannon for dismissing the case in July.
Jack Smith asked only for the dismissal to be reversed so that it could be heard. He did not seek to have the case assigned to a different judge based on partiality concerns.
