According to legal analyst Glenn Kirschner on Friday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is "about to do Donald Trump another solid" by potentially helping the president-elect stop the release of details about his mishandled classified documents case to Congress.

Legal analyst Joyce Vance questioned why Judge Cannon continues to issue orders when the case has been dismissed.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon ordered a Friday hearing to discuss releasing a DOJ report in the dismissed classified document case against Donald Trump.

Judge Aileen Cannon has triggered outrage among legal experts for purporting to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith's reports on the criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, given that she likely surrendered jurisdiction of the classified documents case when she dismissed it and the appeal went to the 11th Circuit.

"It's not clear to folks like me ... whether she has that jurisdiction," MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin said Tuesday.

Judge Aileen Cannon gave Attorney General Merrick Garland the green light on Monday to release special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his 2020 election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump.

The ruling means the volume of Smith’s report on the 2020 election case could be released any time after midnight.

Cannon’s ruling stated that Garland, the Department of Justice, Smith, and “all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals” could not publish any part of the report until three days after the Eleventh Circuit ruled on the case.

Judge Aileen Cannon suggested Friday she was not inclined to allow the Justice Department to share special counsel Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents case with Congress – at least for now.

Six months after she dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon can now decide whether to squash the release of Jack Smith's report, too.

The legal turmoil over the public release of Volume I of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report continued over the weekend, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon again weighing in despite lacking any jurisdiction over the Mar-a-Lago case, because it’s currently on appeal, or the Jan. 6 case in DC, over which she never had jurisdiction.
