"Judge Denies Trump's Bid to Dismiss Classified Documents Case"

A federal judge rejected Donald Trump's bid to dismiss his classified documents criminal case, expressing skepticism about the arguments presented. The judge, nominated by Trump, indicated reluctance to dismiss the case and seemed disinclined to do so on constitutional grounds. The case revolves around whether Trump was entitled to retain sensitive records he took with him after leaving the White House, with his lawyers arguing that the Presidential Records Act gave him the authority to designate them as personal property. Prosecutors countered that the records were presidential, not personal, and included top-secret information. The judge has yet to announce a trial date, and Trump's lawyers are hoping to delay it until after the election.
