Two fellow federal District Court judges attempted to push Judge Aileen Cannon to hand off the classified documents prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump to another judge in Miami, Florida. One of the judges involved in the intimidation effort was the Southern District of Florida chief judge, Cecilia M. Altonaga, who was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush.

Judge Altonaga’s husband, attorney George Mencio, has made extensive contributions to the Bush family’s political operations—suggesting the couple have a more Republican establishment-aligned and anti-Trump mentality. The other judge mentioned in a report on the matter by The New York Times was not identified by name.
