Aileen Cannon Considered for Attorney General Role
News summary

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed Donald Trump's classified documents case, is reportedly being considered for the role of Attorney General in a potential Trump administration. Her name appears second on a list titled 'Transition Planning: Legal Principals,' which was reviewed by ABC News and drafted by Trump's advisers with input from his legal team. This list includes nearly a dozen candidates, with former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton listed first. Cannon's controversial decision to dismiss 40 federal charges against Trump, citing unconstitutional appointment of special counsel Jack Smith, has sparked both praise from Trump and criticism from legal analysts. Despite the contentious nature of her rulings, she remains a key figure in Trump's potential cabinet appointments. Other names on the list include Jeffrey Clark, Mike Davis, and Mark Paoletta, who are also considered for top legal positions in a future Trump administration.
