Thursday's federal hearing against former President Trump looks unfavorable for his legal team, with District Court Judge Aileen Cannon denying a motion to dismiss on 'unconstitutional vagueness.'

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday dismissed former President Trump's motion to dismiss charges of retaining classified documents on the grounds of 'unconstitutional vagueness.' This is only one of two motions from Trump's legal team. The judge has not ruled on the other motion to dismiss based on the Presidential Records Act .

Judge Cannon told Blanche, 'All that might be right. But I don't see how it leads to a dismissal of the indictment...Maybe a defense at trial...' Blanche replied that this was a 'proper' avenue for a dismissal because the government must prove that the possession of the documents was unauthorized. However, Cannon seemed to double down, saying the arguments might have 'some force at trial, but it's hard to see how it gets you to a dismissal.
