cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13397300 >Donald Trump’s favorite judge is suddenly losing law clerks. > > Judge Aileen Cannon has been moving alarmingly slowly in setting up a trial date for Donald Trump’s classified documents criminal case—but it may not be a bid to help out the man who appointed her. > > As of Thursday, the Florida judge had lost at least two law clerks in the last six months, who up and quit on her rather than finish out their one-year terms, according to several sources within Cannon’s legal circuit that spoke with attorney David Lat. > > The rarity of multiple clerks leaving their posts can’t be understated, especially considering that judges typically hire just two or three clerks per annum. As Lat notes in his Substack Original Jurisdiction, “a law clerk’s role is substantive, not clerical or administrative.” Clerks are more like a judge’s right and left hands—they help the judiciary conduct research, prepare for trials, and draft opinions. Clerkships are highly competitive, and one serving a federal judge would otherwise be considered résumé gold, so it’s certainly curious that they seem to be fleeing her bench.

The February ruling stated that Trump and top executives at The Trump Organization inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and insurers. > > The lawsuit, brought by James, initially sought $250 million in damages, but she increased this figure to $370 million, plus interest. With interest, the payment exceeds $464 million.
