"Not so long ago, when the FBI raided Donald Trump's 126-room Palm Beach mansion and found scores of classified documents, the notion that the disgraced former president would return to the Oval Office seemed far-fetched to just about anyone paying attention. Just over three years later, Trump is president, and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida is investigating the raid for being part of what the president's allies have branded a "grand conspiracy" against Trump."
"From her quiet courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, Aileen Cannon is poised to reprise a role that gave the district-court judge an improbably influential say in national politics. Cannon is expected to preside next month over a special federal grand jury called by Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, that will probe aspects of the FBI's raid-as well as broader allegations of a plot against Trump by Democratic politicians and other government officials."
FBI agents raided Donald Trump's Palm Beach residence and seized classified documents. Trump later became president, and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida has opened an investigation into the raid and allegations of a broader plot by Democratic politicians and government officials. A special federal grand jury convened by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones is expected to investigate those matters. District Judge Aileen Cannon is likely to preside over the grand jury and could oversee trials if indictments are returned. Cannon previously dismissed criminal charges against Trump related to mishandled classified documents, and allies promise further prosecutions.
