INSIGHT

Orders Blend Corruption And Confusion

  • Judge Aileen Cannon's minute orders reveal both alleged corruption and procedural confusion in the Mar-a-Lago classified-docs case.
  • Ben Meiselas argues the orders are legally muddled and risk appearance-of-bias problems that could lead to her removal.
ADVICE

Use Standard Section 4 Hearing Process

  • Hold the ex parte in-camera Section 4 hearing where the government shows classified materials to the judge and then rule on substituting summaries.
  • If either side disagrees with the ruling, allow appeal rather than creating extra prehearings or ambiguous orders.
INSIGHT

Section 4 Procedure Misapplied

  • Cannon's February 13 minute order duplicates and confuses CPA Section 4 procedures by inviting defense participation in sealed, classified hearings.
  • Meiselas notes the order contradicts the ex parte, in-camera nature of Section 4 and creates procedural ambiguity.
