"Judge Aileen M.

Smith’s office late Tuesday night filed an especially withering response to Cannon’s request for proposed jury instructions. The response reads as a challenge to Cannon’s jurisprudence and raises the possibility that Smith might try to go around her as the case proceeds.
The growing standoff is worth a breakdown, given that this might be Trump’s most legally problematic case.
Cannon had asked for the proposed jury instructions based on two scenarios involving competing interpretations of the Presidential Records Act. Even invoking the PRA in the instructions would be a gift to Trump. It would effectively inject the idea that the classified documents Trump held onto might somehow be his personal records in a way that many experts say is nonsensical and would severely jeopardize the case.
Those experts say the PRA has no bearing on the case, which instead involves the Espionage Act. They also noted that it’s unusual for a judge to request such jury instructions long before a trial date that hasn’t even been set and before ruling on the laws relevant to the case."
