There is a judge presiding. Judge Cannon. Normally a judge has broad discretion over how to run a trial. Or not run it, as in this case. Of course the defence or prosecution can appeal the judge's decisions to a higher authority if they're completely unlawful but it would have to be something really egregious.
To be fair I think Cannon crossed the line of egregious a long time ago but maybe Jack Smith has a different opinion.

Haha I am so happy that case was delayed indefinitely. This miscarriage of justice needs to be aborted and Trump needs to be excused of all charges. The Stormy Daniels trial isn't even going well either.
So many different charges yet nothing is sticking yet..

If you can't be a juror with bias one most certainly shouldn't be a judge. I don't give a damn who's on trial. That's basic. in my opinion anyway
She should have refused but she's so inexperienced and Trump fangirling that it's transparent she's in the tank
Sure. Once a Federal Judge takes the job, they cannot be removed except for some very outrageous behavior. So if the person that nominated them is on trial, there is no reason to assume bias.
You getting mad your team’s bullshit charges are falling apart?
It’s kind of the nature of being a judge. Impartial, guided by law and facts.
