Will the Trump Classified Docs Prosecutor Call for the Judge's Recusal? Special Counsel Smith and Judge Cannon Exchange Terse Words Over Case

Special Counsel Jack Smith could seek to have Judge Aileen Cannon recused from the Trump classified docs case as the two traded terse words this week over her request for competing jury instructions. Smith said Cannon's request could "distort" a future trial in the case against Trump. If Cannon rules against prosecutors, it could trigger an appeal to remove her from the case. Smith wants a prompt ruling on key legal issues to avoid uncertainty impacting a trial.
