Would-be Trump assassin wants Judge Cannon to recuse herself for dismissing document case
Fox News
Ryan Routh, who is accused of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, has demanded that the Trump-appointed federal judge presiding over his case be recused.
"Mr. Trump is currently the Republican candidate for President in next month's election. On the campaign trail, he has repeatedly praised Your Honor for her rulings in this case," the motion states. "As the alleged victim here, he has significant stake in the outcome of this case too. Were he to become President in the future, he would have authority to nominate Your Honor to a federal judgeship on a higher court were a vacancy to arise."

Routh argues that the "unprecedented facts and circumstances" of Cannon's appointment and her handling of special counsel Jack Smith's case against Trump could "create an appearance of partiality in the mind of the public."
