Federal judge shoots down ‘orchestrated campaign’ to remove Trump-appointed judge in classified documents case

An effort to get a Trump-appointed judge taken off the former president's classified documents case was denied by a chief judge who called the complaints "orchestrated."

But 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Chief Judge William Pryor shot down the effort, saying in a May 22 order that he "has considered and dismissed four of those orchestrated complaints as merits-related and as based on allegations lacking sufficient evidence to raise an inference that misconduct has occurred."
