Trump's Assistant's Case Goes Forward

      Federal Judge Aileen Cannon  is in charge of the federal documents case involving classified government papers that were taken by President Trump when he left office. Those documents were found at Trump's resort hotel in Florida where Trump maintains a residence. The F.B.I. investigating the location of missing documents were sent to Mar-A-Lago to search for documents that the National Archives office believed  were removed from the White House in an unlawful manner and kept secretly at the resort.

     An attorney for the personal assistant-Mr. Nauta, Mr. Stanley Woodward,Jr., claimed that the judge was prejudiced against him and his client. She rejected that claim and has allowed the case to go forward. The case also involves another employee of Trump, Carlos De Oliveira, who is seen on camera footage helping Nauta carry cases of documents inside Mar-A-Lago to another location in the building.

     Trump's lawyers have filed motions to have the case against the Ex-President to be dropped in light of the Supreme Court's ruling that the President is immune from prosecution for actions while in office. The decision has upended almost all the cases filed against Mr. Trump. And so it goes when one "packs" the Court with 'Toadies' as is the case here.
