"Judge Denies Trump's Bid to Dismiss Classified Documents Case Based on Presidential Records Act"

A judge denied former President Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss a case alleging mishandling of classified documents, rejecting his argument that the papers were considered personal under the Presidential Records Act. The judge stated that the charges against Trump do not reference the Presidential Records Act and do not rely on it for stating an offense. The judge also disputed the demand to decide the issue now, calling it "unprecedented and unjust." The case revolves around whether national security documents could be considered personal under the Presidential Records Act, with prosecutors arguing that Trump's reliance on the Act is not based on any decisions made during his presidency.
