The former judge’s clerk who launched the Docs classified Trump affair now in the Senior Doj position
A former law employee with the federal judge who rejected the case of classified documents against President Donald Trump is now at the service of the Ministry of Justice directly under Trump’s former defense lawyer Todd, who is now responsible for the country’s number.
Christopher-James Delorenz has been a lawyer in the vice-procureur general’s office since President Trump took office in January, according to the officials and the public page of Delorenz Linkedin.
Delorenz served for 10 months as law clerks for the American district judge Aileen Cannon, during a period when she chaired the special council of the time, Jack Smith, for having alleged classified documents after leaving the White House and obstructing government efforts to recover them.
According to her LinkedIn page, Delorenz left Cannon’s office in August 2024, just a month after Cannon threw the case against Trump, in which she leased decades of legal preceding by noting that Smith had been appointed unconstitutionally.
It is not known if Blanche, who was Trump’s principal lawyer in the classified documents case and took office at the beginning of last month following a close confirmation of the US Senate, had a direct involvement in the hiring of Delorenz.
Trump has already equipped the most high -end ranks of the DoJ with lawyers who previously represented it in a range of criminal and civil questions, as part of a wider effort to reaffirm control of a department which brought two criminal proceedings against him after his departure according to 2021.
While the clerk of a district judge is often a path to a higher employment in an administration, the position of Delorenz is the first appointment known to the DOJ of a former clerk of judge Cannon, whose rejection of the case of documents gave Trump a massive political victory.

Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump in 2020, was criticized by many legal experts about several decisions that helped support Trump’s lawyer’s strategy to delay the business.
In a statement to ABC News, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said: “The Ministry of Justice has hired highly qualified and qualified lawyers to effectively carry out our mission to end the armament of justice, defend the executive authority against overtaking and become America again.”
The rooms of the Cannon judge did not respond to a request for comments from ABC News.
Cannon previously responded to the accusations of having granted Trump a favorable treatment in an order refusing a request for her of rewriting to chair the criminal case of Ryan Routh, who was accused of having tried to assassinate Trump in his golf club in Florida in September of last year.
“I have never spoken or met the former president Trump, except in the context of his presence required during an official legal proceedings, through a lawyer,” wrote Cannon in a decision in October 2024.
“I have no relation to [Trump]“In any reasonable sense of the sentence. I am my oath to administer faithfully and impartial justice, in accordance with the constitution and the laws of this country, “she wrote.
