Andrew Weissmann Slams Judge Cannon’s ‘Bonkers’ Rulings: ‘She Does Not Have the Tools to Handle a Case That’s This Complicated’

MSNBC legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann took U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to task over a series of rulings she has made in former President Donald Trump’s favor.

Cannon is presiding over Trump’s classified documents case in which Special Counsel Jack Smith alleges the former president willfully retained classified documents and obstructed the government’s attempts to retrieve them. The judge, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, has issued several decisions that have perplexed legal experts and prompted a pair of reversals by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Weissmann appeared on Monday’s Deadline: White House on MSNBC, where guest host John Heilemann asked what Cannon’s deal is.
