Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointed judge presiding over the case accusing the former president of illegally retaining classified documents, has moved slowly and seemed confused at points during the case’s public court hearings, according to a New York Times reporter in the courtroom.

Seven public court hearings have taken place over the past 10 months, indicating that the case may not go to trial until after Election Day. If Donald Trump wins the presidency again, he will have the opportunity to dismiss the federal charges or pardon himself.
