Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case.
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been assigned to oversee the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling of classified documents. Judge Cannon has already shown her bias when she ruled in Trump's favor in a related case, raising serious questions about her impartiality.
Last year, she ordered a "special master" to review the classified documents that federal officers had found at Mar-a-Lago. Then, she blocked authorities from using the documents in their investigation while the review was underway.
Federal law requires a judge to step away from a case in which impartiality "might reasonably be questioned." Given Judge Cannon's history and previous rulings in Trump's favor, her impartiality reaches that threshold.
This is not a matter of politics; it's a matter of justice. We must all stand for a fair and impartial judicial system regardless of political affiliation. We must demand that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions. This case is a litmus test for our democracy, and we cannot afford to fail.
