U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon presided over two hearings on May 22 regarding two of the several motions to dismiss that former President Donald Trump and codefendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira have filed in the classified documents case.
Judge Cannon noted that there was a “potpourri” of criticisms about the indictment and that it could be confusing for “reasonable people” on a jury.
Both hearings ended with requests that the judge take further action beyond consideration of dismissing charges, holding an evidentiary hearing, or keeping the indictment from jurors.
