In her order, Cannon, a 42-year-old jurist appointed to the federal bench by Trump shortly after his 2020 reelection loss, told Justice Department prosecutors and Trump's lawyers to file all pre-trial motions by July 24. Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, in announcing the 37-count indictment against Trump two weeks ago, called for a "speedy trial," but Trump has yet to hire a full legal defense team in the southern state of Florida where Judge Aileen Cannon presides, and the trial would occur.
