But, a national security expert pointed out that some of those requests were small, and for an unknown reason were all kept under seal.
"Aileen Cannon kept an innocuous request from Stan Woodward, to get an extension to respond to her order, under seal for nine months," Marcy Wheeler posted on X, Thursday, implying that she intentionally worked to build an unnecessary backlog.
This adds to claims that other legal analysts have made about Cannon's management of the trial.
Speaking to CNN on Wednesday, former impeachment lawyer Norm Eisen said, "Judge Cannon is clearly dragging out the classified documents case against Trump. Whether it's due to her inexperience, her bias, or both — it's atrocious."
Cannon has been a member of the conservative and libertarian Federalist Society since 2005, when she was a law student. While being considered for the position of a district judge in 2020, Cannon explained that she joined the Federalist Society because of a "diversity of viewpoints" and also because she "found interesting the organization's discussions about the constitutional separation of powers, the rule of law, and the limited role of the judiciary to say what the law is—not to make the law".
