"Legal Showdown: Smith and Cannon Battle Over Trump's Classified Documents"
Prosecutor Jack Smith has handed over nearly 700,000 records to Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the classified documents case in Florida. The trial, overseen by a judge appointed by Trump, has been delayed due to the large volume of highly sensitive classified documents involved. Trump's team is seeking "countless" more records and has requested additional CCTV footage, while prosecutors allege that footage shows Trump's associates hiding presidential records at Mar-a-Lago. The trial has been pushed from May until July or August, and there are concerns that Trump may be using the request for documents to delay the trial until after the 2024 presidential election.
