'Time is up': Ex-prosecutor says Trump's 'past is catching up with him' on classified docs
Donald Trump may be close to a legal reckoning on the classified documents case, according to a legal expert.Joyce Vance, the former United States attorney who has become one of the most widely read legal analysts of the Trump era, says a key appeals court is signaling it has lost patience with the judge who has spent more than a year blocking the release of the classified documents portion of Jack Smith's special counsel report — and that Trump's strategy of rigging legal proceedings in his favor by eliminating genuine opposition is running out of time."It's starting to look like time is up," Vance wrote in her Civil Discourse Substack on Saturday.At the center of the dispute is Volume II of Smith's report, which covers the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee who has consistently ruled in his favor, blocked the report's release on Inauguration Day and refused for months to act on requests by American Oversight and the Knight First Amendment Institute to intervene and argue for its release. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals previously cited "undue delay" from Cannon and ordered her to rule within 60 days. She ruled against the media organizations, and they appealed.Now the Eleventh Circuit has ordered a full briefing schedule, with all briefs due by July. Vance notes the order was signed by Judge Nancy Abudu, a Biden appointee, and says the court's track record of correcting Cannon's errors gives her reason for optimism.Vance connects the classified documents fight to the IRS slush fund case, arguing both share the same fatal flaw: Trump occupying both sides of the legal dispute, with the Justice Department acting as his ally rather than a genuine adversary. Courts, she argues, are finally forcing him to face real opposition."Trump's past is finally catching up with him," Vance writes.

Fox's Bartiromo mocked by both sides for getting Kennedy Center case wrong: 'Full-time PR'
Fox's Maria Bartiromo drew ridicule from journalists and conservatives alike after posting a lengthy defense of Donald Trump's Kennedy Center name change that got the basic legal facts wrong — and appeared to pass along opposition research from Laura Loomer targeting the judge's wife.Bartiromo claimed the Kennedy Center board had already approved adding Trump's name to the building and accused the judge who ordered it removed of being part of a "Get Trump" conspiracy. "The way these judges go after Donald Trump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un-American they are," she wrote, before pivoting to information she attributed to Loomer about Judge Christopher Cooper's wife, attorney Dorothy Ames Jeffress, claiming Jeffress had previously represented Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi.Paul Farhi, the former Washington Post media reporter, cut straight to the problem. "Except the board doesn't have the authority to change the name," he wrote. "Congress made that clear in enacting the law establishing the KenCen. Which is exactly what the judge ruled yesterday."Farhi wasn't alone. Pradheep Shanker, a radiologist and conservative commentator, sided with the court. "Only Congressional action can change the name," he wrote. "Trump is wrong and the Judge is right about the law."Gregg Nunziata, a former Republican Senate Judiciary counsel, offered two words in response to Bartiromo's post: "Noted journalist."John Harwood, the former CNN and NBC correspondent, simply replied with a 🤪 emoji.Carla Marinucci, a veteran political journalist, was the most direct. "Used to be a journalist," she wrote. "Now full-time PR."
