Judge Aileen Cannon declined to rule on a motion filed by Trump's lawyers on Wednesday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of the former president on the grounds that it had technical flaws, once again pushing back an already long-delayed trial. CNN reports that while Cannon appeared unconvinced by their argument, she raised concerns that the jury might not understand the nuances of the case.
Cannon's stalling provoked criticism from former Trump White House lawyer turned Trump critic Ty Cobb, who criticized her "incompetence" and "perceived bias" and suggested that most jurors won't "have the difficulty that she perceives."
