Former President Trumps critics groaned when they learned that Judge Aileen Cannon was listed on the summons for Trumps Tuesday appearance to face charges in federal court.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, made controversial rulings in Trumps favor during the investigation into his personal possession of classified government documents. Some observers fretted that Cannon would run Trumps trial in a biased manner.

But some other experts cautioned that Cannon would not necessarily preside over the trial, arguing that she would either recuse herself or be reassigned by a higher court.
Who is Cannon?
Trump nominated Cannon in 2020 to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida which includes Trumps residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., where he kept the documents. Prior to her appointment, she was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. attorneys office for the Southern District of Florida.

But it could backfire also. Shes been embarrassed already. She could bend over backwards to look impartial.
