Judge Denies Trump Co-Defendants' Motions to Dismiss Charges in Classified Documents Case

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon denied motions to dismiss charges against two of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the classified documents case, stating that the charging document satisfies the minimum pleading standards and that the indictment's allegations provide enough basis to deny the dismissal requests. The co-defendants, Trump aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira, face charges including conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements, and have pleaded not guilty.
