The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript.

    Not defending her, she was a Trump appointee, but this is the media trying to make her look bad. They’re implying that she will screw up the Trump trial. They can’t know that. It’s like me implying that Microwave will get a cavity because he forgot to brush his teeth one day.

    Also; take care of your teeth. Floss. They’ll thank you when you’re older.

      “Trying to make her look bad” by explaining a time she deprived people of Constitutional rights in her court room, and made dumb mistakes like not swearing in a jury.

      She just looks bad, factually.

      The author can’t “know” that she will make a mistake and that’s why they didn’t claim that. But when you put someone in charge of an extremely important case, it just is relevant if they have made bad mistakes in the past. The potential for errors and illegal, unconstitutional actions, are higher when the person has done it before. That is newsworthy.

        I’m not concern trolling. My criticism is of what the media chooses to focus on. Why not write about how the appointment system is flawed and she should have never been appointed? They don’t because that’s tedious and doesn’t scratch that tribalism itch. Everything is newsworthy. It’s what they choose to cover, or not cover that bothers me.

      She’s already been rebuked by a conservative appeals court. It’s not the media making her look bad. They just followed the stories she created.

        Don’t put too much faith in the media. Even if you agree with it. The media always has an agenda.

            Exactly. This article is appealing to your hate for a Trump appointee who shouldn’t be in this position. What information are you getting that you didn’t already know. She’s a bad judge. Period. But by angering readers they create clicks and get eyeballs. $. I’m not saying it’s not news and you shouldn’t pay attention. I’m just trying to make people more aware of how they interact with the news.
