Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann criticized U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for stalling former President Donald Trump’s documents trial after a key witness came forward.
Brian Butler, a former Mar-a-Lago employee referenced as “Trump Employee 5” in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment, told CNN this week that he has repeatedly spoken with prosecutors but decided to come forward, in part, because Cannon said she would order the names of witnesses to be released despite Smith’s opposition.
