Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb ripped U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday after it was reported she rejected calls to recuse herself from Donald Trump’s classified documents case.

Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges that Trump willfully retained classified documents after leaving office and obstructed the government’s efforts to retrieve them. The former president has pleaded not guilty.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump in 2020, rebuffed recommendations from Southern District of Florida Chief Judge Cecilia Altonaga and another judge to step away from the case.
