EXCLUSIVE Video which was made during a hearing about former President Donald Trump’s case in Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon raised a question regarding the uniqueness of Trump’s charges related to handling classified materials, scrutinizing the premise of the prosecution and suggesting that a double standard may be at play.
During the hearing, Judge Cannon remarked that “no former president had similarly faced criminal charges over the handling of classified material,” as reported by NBC News.
This inquiry surfaced as Trump’s legal team filed various motions aiming to dismiss the case. They highlighted a report by special counsel Robert Hur, which found evidence of President Joe Biden keeping classified documents but ultimately decided against charging him.
Prosecutor Jay Bratt responded to Judge Cannon’s question.
“Even with other former presidents, there was never a situation remotely similar to this one,” according to CNN. This discussion took place in the broader context of allegations of a double standard in prosecuting cases involving classified documents, as Republicans suggested there was inconsistency in charges brought against Trump and not Biden, especially after special counsel Robert Hur defended his report in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
Special counsel Jack Smith, addressing Trump’s motion to dismiss based on claims of “selective and vindictive prosecution,” cited Hur’s report.
“Most notably, Trump, unlike Biden, is alleged to have engaged in extensive and repeated efforts to obstruct justice and thwart the return of documents bearing classification markings.”
Judge Cannon also deliberated on other aspects of Trump’s motions during the hearing, describing the step to dismiss the case based on the argument that the indictment’s underlying law is “unconstitutionally vague” as “extraordinary.” She further pondered whether it was “premature” to dismiss the case based on the Presidential Records Act, considering the dispute over whether the documents were designated as personal as Trump claims.
