The order comes as Cannon has come under fire for her handling of the case, according to the CNBC report, which cited a recent "Justice Matters" podcast by former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner that accused the Florida judge of grinding the case to a halt.
"She has brought the case to a screeching halt by declining to resolve motions in a timely manner and by refusing to even set a trial date. Judge Cannon is NOT an honest broker of the law, and the federal law requires a judge to be removed when his/her ‘impartially might reasonably be questioned,’" said Kirschner, who also pointed out that Cannon was appointed by Trump.
The same podcast contained a link to a YouTube video that gave step-by-step instructions on how to file a complaint against Cannon with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

"Although many of the complaints allege an improper motive in delaying the case, the allegations are speculative and unsupported by any evidence," the judge wrote. "The Complaints also do not establish that Judge Cannon was required to recuse herself from the case because she was appointed by then-President Trump."
