Former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu told Newsweek there's a 'tremendous lack of transparency' when it comes to why judges recuse themselves from cases.
said that the recusal does raise questions about Reinhart's impartiality regarding Mar-a-Lago and argued that it would benefit the public interest for the judge to disclose what grounds prevented him from presiding over the Clinton suit.
In a June 22 filing, Reinhart recused himself from the case and asked that it be reassigned pursuant to subsection 455 under Title 28 of the U.S. Code, which states that any justice, judge or magistrate shall disqualify themselves from"any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned."
"So a lot of the reason for that lack of stating-all-the-reasons-out is to put a bigger burden on the judiciary to police itself," he said."It's not just your financial disclosures that somebody's overseeing. Instead, you need to oversee it."
