Jay Paul/ReutersThe MAGA-friendly federal judge who keeps siding with Donald Trump in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon's ultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trump's lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.

Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty ImagesAn attempt by Donald Trump to block Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen from testifying at his upcoming criminal trial in New York was thrown out on Monday by the judge overseeing the case.
The former president's legal team had requested both Daniels and Cohen's testimony be barred, saying in a filing last month that Cohen was a liar and that Daniels is an opportunist.
"Similar to Cohen, she seeks to tell contrived stories with salacious details of events she claimed occurred nearly 20 years ago," his lawyers wrote.
