A federal judge has denied former President Donald Trump's attempt to have his classified documents case dismissed based on the Presidential Records Act. Trump's attorneys argued that he should have custody of the documents in question, even after his presidency, but the judge rejected this argument. The judge also criticized the special counsel's filing and dismissed the suggestion that she should clarify her position on jury instructions. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials and has denounced the probe as a political witch hunt.
