Judge Aileen Cannon has denied a request from Donald Trump advisor Stephen Miller to intervene in the former president's criminal case regarding classified documents.
The case, which is being heard in federal court in Florida, involves allegations against Trump for unlawfully storing and refusing to return classified documents from his time in office. Miller, representing America First Legal, argued that a gag order would stifle the U.S. political system by barring Trump from speaking about the case.
This move by Judge Cannon marks a significant moment, signaling an end to the previously allowed 'friends of the court' interventions by Republican attorneys general and advisors like Miller.

Finally, some accountability in the courts—blocking Stephen Miller's move is a step in the right direction for justice and transparency in the Trump classified docs saga.
Looks like the court is finally putting its foot down on political interference, even if it's a move that might ruffle some feathers on the right.
