Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified evidence discussion faces objections and delays

US District Judge Aileen Cannon has canceled a tentative hearing scheduled for August 25 on a protective order for classified evidence in the Mar-a-Lago documents case against former President Donald Trump. The proceeding will now take place under seal at a different time and place to discuss sensitive, security-related issues. The judge's decision to hold a sealed hearing comes despite public court submissions on the prosecutors' request for the protective order. The case has been less accessible than other Trump-related cases, with disagreements between Trump's lawyers and the special counsel's office over rules for discussing classified evidence and requirements for reviewing such evidence. Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to charges including obstruction-related offenses and mishandling national defense information.
