Judge rejects call for recusal in Trump assassination case | Florida
SUMMARY: U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Donald Trump, denied a request for recusal from Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Trump. Routh’s defense argued that Cannon’s past rulings favoring Trump created a conflict of interest, suggesting her assignment to this case was questionable. Routh, who has pleaded not guilty, faces charges related to firearm possession and stalking Trump. Cannon asserted that her judicial decisions are not influenced by Trump or her prior relationship with a prosecutor involved in the case. She reiterated that cases are assigned randomly, emphasizing her impartiality and lack of personal ties with Trump.
