Judge Cannon asks about legality of using DC grand jury in Florida-based Mar-a-Lago case
In an order Monday, Cannon said Nauta’s lawyers “shall address the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate and/or to seek post-indictment hearings on matters pertinent to the instant indicted matter in this district” by August 17. The special counsel must reply by August 22.
The Justice Department previously flagged to Cannon the possibility of a conflict of interest because Nauta’s lawyer Stanley Woodward has represented others who are likely to be witnesses against him and Trump at trial. Cannon’s schedule indicates the possible conflict issue won’t be resolved for at least two weeks.
