Former President Donald Trump's lawyers are trying to convince a Florida federal judge he had 'unreviewable discretion' to make any document personal in nature.
Washington â Former President Donald Trump's lawyers will be trying to convince a federal judge in Florida Thursday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents case against him.Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hear arguments on two motions filed by Trump, one that says the former president is shielded from prosecution by a federal recordkeeping law, and another that claims one of the charges presents numerous open legal questions.
' Trump has long claimed that he had a right to hold onto the records because of the federal government classification authority he held while he was president, but prosecutors alleged the federal government â from archivists to investigators â had undertaken a year-long effort to retrieve the missing documents. Trump returned 15 boxes of documents that included papers with classified markings in January 2022.
