Although Trump's case was randomly assigned to Cannon, the arraignment will be handled by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman.

According to the Miami Herald, Cannon has not been taken off the case.

"Cannon, who had been widely reported to be handling those duties, will still remain on the historic case as the lead judge," the report said.

Goodman was described as a "well-regarded veteran magistrate who once worked as a newspaper reporter."

I don't believe for a second that his net worth is more than a billion dollars. True, he controls several billion dollars in assets, but most if not all of them are mortgaged to the hilt, and it is widely believed that he inflated the value of them in order to obtain bigger loans.

Actually, if his assets were accurately valued, I'm not even sure that he would be solvent.

I totally agree.

Court ends routine access to federal mugshots

Public access to mugshots of people arrested on federal criminal charges will be dramatically curtailed under a ruling issued Thursday by a federal appeals court, unless the Supreme Court steps in.

On a 9-7 vote, the full bench of the Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a two-decade-old legal precedent that allowed news organizations and others to obtain booking photos of criminal defendants who've appeared in federal court.

Writing for the majority, Judge Deborah Cook found erroneous a 1996 6th Circuit decision essentially guaranteeing access to mugshots requested under the federal Freedom of Information Act. Both that case and the one the court ruled on Thursday were brought by the Detroit Free Press.

Calling mugshots "squarely within [the] realm of embarrassing and humiliating information," Cook noted that they're considered so damaging to a person's reputation that they can't normally be shown at a trial.

"Booking photos convey guilt to the viewer," she wrote. "Indeed, viewers so uniformly associate booking photos with guilt and criminality that we strongly disfavor showing such photos to criminal juries."

I doubt they would feel the need to take one.

I was hoping for a mugshot also, but the Feds do not release them, even if they take them.
At least this is what I found, perhaps someone has better information...
