U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has declined to recuse herself from the case involving Ryan Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
Routh's defense team argued that Cannon, appointed by Trump, could be seen as biased. However, Cannon rejected these claims, stating that her appointment by Trump does not warrant her removal from the case.
The decision has sparked debate over judicial impartiality, especially given Cannon's previous rulings in cases involving Trump.
