A new report reveals that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Donald Trump-appointed Florida judge presiding over the Mar-A-Lago case, once received a luxury trip from a school backed by Leonard Leo, the conservative kingmaker of the judiciary branch.

A six-night stay at the Sage Lodge would likely cost several thousand dollars. A stay in a typical single bed room for the same time period in 2024, for instance, would be roughly $5,600 after taxes and fees, according to the lodge’s website.

The event itself was put on by the Antonin Scalia Law School, which appears to have deep ties within the conservative judiciary movement. After Leo’s donation and the school’s rebrand in 2016, it “developed an unusually expansive relationship with the justices of the high court” asreported in April, seemingly especially with conservative justices, though also with the Court’s liberals.

Cannon is also tied to Leo in other ways. For nearly two decades, Cannon has been a member of the Federalist Society — the“It’s no surprise that Judge Cannon has benefited from Leo’s well-funded network. Over decades, Leo has used shady tactics to curry favor with judges at all levels in service of his ultimate goal: to force an extreme, radical agenda on Americans,” said Accountable.US senior advisor Kyle Herrig.
