Joyce Vance said it's 'far too risky' for special counsel Jack Smith to not pursue an effort to recuse Cannon from Trump's classified documents case.
Judge Aileen Cannon has behaved in ways 'far outside the realm' while overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents criminal trial, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance said Sunday, adding that the Department of Justice should move to recuse her from the trial.
'This judge is behaving in a way that is so far outside the realm that it has left them scratching their heads and looking for a strategy. I think at this point the DOJ ought to go ahead and file a motion to recuse the judge. She's obligated to respond to that in writing if she denies it and then Jack Smith will be able to take it to the 11th Circuit.
