Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who gained attention after dismissing Donald Trump’s classified documents case in July, is being considered as a potential candidate for attorney general in a possible second Trump administration. According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, Cannon's name is included on a proposed personnel list that is currently circulating within Trump’s campaign and transition team.

 

This document, titled “Transition Planning: Legal Principals,” outlines potential candidates for key legal positions, including the Department of Justice, the FBI, and U.S. attorneys’ offices.

 

Sources have indicated that Trump’s top advisers, with input from Boris Epshteyn, who manages Trump’s legal team, were responsible for drafting the list. Cannon’s name reportedly appears second, right after Jay Clayton, former chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of possible candidates for attorney general includes nearly a dozen names, and sources confirmed that Cannon’s inclusion came after she dismissed the classified documents case over the summer.

 

Cannon’s ties to Trump date back to 2020, when the former president nominated her to serve as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Florida. Trump has openly praised Cannon for dismissing the 40 criminal counts brought against him by special counsel Jack Smith, which related to Trump’s handling of classified documents after leaving the White House. Cannon’s ruling came at a significant time, coinciding with the first day of the Republican National Convention in July. She ruled that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional since he was neither appointed by the president nor confirmed by Congress. The special counsel’s office has since appealed her decision.

 

Cannon has not publicly commented on her inclusion in the list, and her chambers did not respond to ABC News’ repeated requests for a statement. It remains unclear how Cannon’s potential consideration for the attorney general role might influence future proceedings in the classified documents case, especially if an appeals court overturns her ruling. When contacted, a spokesperson for the special counsel’s office also declined to comment.

 

In a related case, Ryan Routh, a man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump at one of his Florida golf clubs, recently asked Cannon to recuse herself from his case. Routh’s legal team argued that Cannon’s potential career advancement, should Trump win re-election, presented a conflict of interest. However, the Department of Justice opposed this motion, stating that no legal authority required Cannon’s recusal.

 

Sources familiar with the proposed transition plan have noted that some figures from Trump’s first administration are also under consideration for top posts at the Department of Justice. Among them are Steve Engel, a former assistant attorney general in the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel, and Will Levi, who served as chief of staff to former Attorney General Bill Barr.

 

Other potential candidates have publicly encouraged Trump to break with traditional norms that maintain the independence between the White House and the nation's law enforcement agencies.

[Chomper Higgot]

Thank you, another argument for her recusal and the reversal of her lawless overturn of the case against the guy who appointed her and who is now offering her a reward.

[JonnyF]

I think she'd be a wonderful choice.

 

Beautiful, intelligent, experienced.

 

You go girl!

[animalmagic]

Quid pro quo anyone?

[Thingamabob]

These preparations for a post-election Trump presidency are an indication of his team's confidence of a win on November 5. I wonder if they are getting ahead of themselves, however every a-political source I talk with is forecasting a big win for Trump.

[Watawattana]

Any chance of a completely unbiased, non-political appointee who will apply the law evenly, and without fear or favor?  I thought not...

[mogandave]

“Sources have indicated…”

 

Meaning it’s all made up by the left to try to damage Trump before the election. 

 

Sources have names. If they won’t provide it, they are either lying or more likely non-existent. 

 

Remember Adam Schiff lying about the Mueller report every day on CNN citing his “sources”? 

 

The left lies like you and I breathe

 No. Just an indication of the future corruption of the judicial system if trump gains power.

Ha HA HAAAAAA❗

Complete & total 🐎💩❗

She's extremely inexperienced and unknowledgeable of the law. Already been overturned twice by the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta for overstepping her authority and likely in for a 3rd stern overturning and reprimand and removal from Trumps Stolen Docs case when it's reinstated. FYI...the 11th Circuit has 7 of 12 judges appointed by Republican Presidents and 6 of those by Trump himself. 🤣

 

Oh and you left out that she's corrupt as a day is long.

With a ridiculous answer. 

 

“The walls are closing in” several times a week for a year. The walls never closed in, and the investigation found nothing on Trump.

And the "quelle" is the correct spelling and form of the word (quel/quelle) preceding a feminine noun in that beautiful language.

 

Over your head, of course. Quelle surprise!

My money is on Texas AG Ken Paxton for Attorney General in the Trump Administration.

 

Cannon will be a SCOTUS nominee when Thomas and/or Alito retire.
