The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents case was advised by two other federal judges not to take the case, according to a new, anonymously-sourced report.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon was randomly assigned to oversee the 45th president’s documents case in the Southern District of Florida. When that assignment came down, however, the Southern District’s Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga and an unidentified judge advised her to pass, according to “two people briefed on the matter,” The New York Times reports.

Cannon allegedly ignored those entreaties.
