U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon declined to recuse herself from the case involving Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Ryan Routh.

The 58-year-old Routh’s attorneys asked the Florida-based federal judge to recuse herself because she had been appointed by the alleged target of the assassination attempt and cited her controversial ruling in favor of Trump in civil and criminal cases — including the dismissal of his felony charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

“To the extent this case can even be said to qualify as a ‘same or related’ case as compared to the cited cases involving former President Trump — a strained assumption to begin with — the Motion presents no facts or law warranting a departure from the general rule of no recusal, much less the ‘pervasive bias and prejudice’ necessary to trigger the exception to the general rule,” Cannon wrote in her ruling.
