Judge Aileen Cannon rejected arguments by lawyers for Ryan Routh that she step off the case because she could be seen as partial toward Donald Trump.

"Stripped of such speculation, the Motion fails to cite any objective facts warranting a reasonable inference of partiality or bias under applicable legal principles," she wrote.Washington Post loses a reported 200K digital subscriptions, 3 editorial board members over endorsement vetoHarris focuses on manufacturing plan in Michigan as Trump leads on economy
