Democrats are angered by the fact that a Trump-appointed judge may preside over the former President's case.
Florida judge Aileen Cannon is facing heat for being listed on the summons for Trump's Tuesday Miami appearance to face charges in federal court.
Democrats are reportedly worried that Cannon can blow the whole case since past rulings from her have slowed the Department of Justice's investigation into Trump— which she banned prosecutors from using the classified documents they seized from his Mar-a-Lago home.
