Former judges are “baffled” over U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s orders this week in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, The Washington Post reports.

Cannon on Monday ordered Trump’s lawyers and special counsel Jack Smith’s team to submit competing sets of potential jury instructions around competing interpretations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires presidents to turn over their records to the National Archives. Trump’s lawyers argue the PRA gave Trump the right to keep classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

“In my 30 years as a trial judge, I have never seen an order like this,” former federal Judge Jeremy Fogel, who now runs the Berkeley Judicial Institute, told the Post, arguing that Cannon may be putting “the cart before the horse.”

Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge in Massachusetts, told the Post that what Cannon “asked the parties to do is very, very troubling.”

“She is giving credence to arguments that are on their face absurd,” Gerner said. “She is ignoring a raft of other motions, equally absurd, that are unreasonably delaying the case.”
