    My hot take is that she figures she’s delayed it as long as she possibly can, so now she’s washing her hands of it.

    Jack Smith will appeal, of course, and now has grounds to seek a new judge, but it doesn’t matter. The damage is done. Any new judge assigned to the case will have to get up to speed, and that will take time.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.

    In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.

    This is a developing story and will be updated.
