"Judge Considers Tossing Obstruction Charges in Trump Classified Docs Case"

TL;DR Summary
Judge Aileen Cannon will consider the validity of obstruction charges against Donald Trump's co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, accused of helping Trump hide classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and lying to the FBI. The judge's decision will likely impact Trump's defense in the case. Nauta and De Oliveira have requested the charges be thrown out, citing lack of evidence and vagueness, while the special counsel argues that these issues should be decided by a jury. If the judge rejects their efforts, the co-defendants have asked for detailed descriptions of the offenses from prosecutors.
