Former White House legal counsel Ty Cobb has criticized Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to indefinitely postpone the trial involving documents seized from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. In a report by The Hill, Cobb expressed disappointment in the delay, labeling it a “combination of bias and incompetence.”
Cobb’s comments come in response to Cannon’s order, which delayed key court dates without setting a new trial start date, citing the need to resolve issues related to classified information handling at trial. Cobb argued that Cannon’s actions reflect a lack of preparation and an apparent objective to prevent the case from going to trial.
Describing Cannon’s decisions as “inexplicable” and “tragic,” Cobb emphasized the importance of the case and criticized the judge’s handling of pretrial motions. He accused Cannon of not honoring the public’s interest and expressed regret that the case may not go to trial despite its significance.
Cobb’s remarks highlight growing frustrations with the delay in Trump’s trial and raise questions about the judge’s ability to manage the proceedings effectively.
