Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.
Judge Aileen Cannon, the judge overseeing former President Trump's classified documents case, rejected suggestions from two of her superiors on the bench to pass the high-profile case to a more experienced judge, the New York Times reports.

I think there's a dedicated thread to that particular trial, but you're right it's hard to figure out where to put this stuff when there's just so much.
Can a superior order her to do this? Or is there no authority to do anything beyond recommendation? Naive, optimist me (nothing I've ever been accused of) had initially thought this would actually go to trial before the election even while I remained doubtful of a just outcome. Wasn't it originally scheduled for March? I lost any hope of that awhile ago. It makes such a mockery of justice in what really should be fairly straight forward (says my l&o degreed self).
