Donald Trump will soon receive controversial information from Special Counsel Jack Smith after the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal case over classified documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago, Judge Cannon, ordered the prosecutor to deliver the data.

Earlier on Friday, Cannon paused deadlines in a controversial order that special counsel Jack Smith had condemned as a “clear error” in the ex-president’s classified document case, according to court records and reports. Earlier this week, Cannon ordered Smith to deliver to her by Friday proposals for unredacted FBI interview witness reports that could appear on the public docket.

Smith warned about threats to people involved in the case, causing the earlier pause. But later on Friday, Cannon said the information still must be delivered to Trump and other defendants in the case, including Walt Nauta, according to the court docket.

    Being reversed later doesn’t have any negative effect for her or Trump

    Having most of your rulings overturned isn’t exactly helpful if you want to be appointed to a higher court, but at this point her career path is pretty much shot anyway.

      I mean, if a narcissistic sociopath wants to give you a judgeship nomination, and your party controls the Senate and is a bunch of spineless toadies, it doesn’t matter how much you have been overturned. Being overturned is a job qualification for people who want to destroy the existing rule of law.
