Trump posted on Truth Social:
Corrupt Joe Biden and his team of Hacks and Thugs, led by Merrick Garland and Deranged Jack Smith, are working overtime to try to intimidate and illegally harass respected federal judge Aileen Cannon.

Trump seems to know that Aileen Cannon is all that stands between him and a potential felony conviction in the classified documents case, so he’s doing everything he can to protect “his” judge.
