\n Judge Aileen Cannon\u00a0is planning on holding a sprawling hearing on\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s request to declare Jack Smith\u2019s app<\/a>ointment as special counsel invalid,\u00a0signaling the judge could be more willing than any other trial judge to veto the special prosecutor\u2019s authority.\n <\/p>\n

\n The planned hearing also adds a new,\u00a0unusual twist in the federal criminal national security case against the former president:\u00a0Cannon on Tuesday said that a variety of political partisans and constitutional scholars not otherwise involved with the case can join in the oral arguments\u00a0on June 21.\n <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s an extraordinary elevation of arguments in a criminal case first filed a year ago this week that likely won\u2019t see trial until next year, if at all.\n <\/p>\n

\n Similar challenges from Trump and other high-level targets of special counsel probes have flopped from coast to coast in recent years: Hunter Biden\u2019s attorney didn\u2019t get anywhere with judges in Los Angeles and Delaware; Paul Manafort\u2019s\u00a0arguments fell flat\u00a0when the former Trump campaign chairman challenged special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s authority; and Andrew Miller, a former\u00a0associate of Roger Stone, also lost his challenge to Mueller\u2019s authority.\n <\/p>\n

\n Even with other federal trial-level judges allowing special counsels\u2019 criminal prosecutions, Cannon could\u00a0rule differently.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cannon\u2019s signal of willingness to entertain challenges to the special counsel comes in the same week Republicans are bearing down on Attorney General<\/a> Merrick Garland for his use of special counsels.\n <\/p>\n

\n The issue, now before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida federal court, is likely to remain in the political debate at least until Cannon holds a hearing on the legal power of the special counsel to prosecute a defendant, on June 21.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cannon has already taken a drastically different tack from other trial-level federal judges who have handled criminal cases charged by recent special counsel\u2019s offices \u2013 of which there have been five since Trump became president.\n <\/p>\n

\n While others have moved swiftly to trial \u2013 including special counsel David Weiss trying his case against Hunter Biden in Delaware this week, eight months after indictment \u2013 Cannon has moved slowly on pre-trial issues from Trump and his two co-defendants. Many\u00a0of the most substantive legal questions to be decided in the classified records case, which the Justice Department first brought against Trump last June, aren\u2019t yet ripe for a decision.\n <\/p>\n

\n And it is highly unusual for a federal trial judge to allow a third-party group unaffiliated with a criminal case to argue in court as part of a defendant\u2019s legal challenges to the case itself. That work is essentially reserved for defendants\u2019 teams to bring and argue in courts across the country, opposite Justice Department prosecutors. Allowing third parties to argue in court is even rare in appeals situations.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe fact these motions are even being entertained with a hearing is itself ridiculous. That third parties are being allowed to opine\u00a0at the hearing is absurd,\u201d\u00a0Bradley Moss, a national security law expert based in Washington, DC, told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n But Cannon has been convinced by three separate groups of lawyers that they should be able to argue before her. Two of those groups support Trump\u2019s position to dismiss the case against him and say the special counsel, for various constitutional reasons, doesn\u2019t have authority to prosecute. A third group says the Department of Justice\u2019s use of a special counsel should be upheld.\n <\/p>\n

\n Two former Republican-appointed US attorneys general, Edwin Meese and Michael Mukasey, are part of the groups of so-called \u201cfriends of the court\u201d that side with Trump and\u00a0whom Cannon will hear from. The three groups will be allowed to argue, in addition to Justice Department and defendants\u2019 lawyers, for 30 minutes each, according to the court record.\n <\/p>\n

\n Meese and Mukasey have special insight to share with the judge, they say, given their former roles leading the Justice Department.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
