"Judge Rejects Trump's Request for Classified Docs in Civil Fraud Case"

Judge Aileen M. Cannon rejected former President Trump's request for his lawyers to see more of the classified filings submitted by prosecutors in his criminal trial for mishandling classified documents, stating that the access sought was not typically granted in such cases and that withholding the information would not hinder his defense. Cannon plans to hold a key hearing on Friday to discuss the trial schedule and evidence disputes. This ruling follows a similar judgment denying requests by Trump's co-defendants to access classified information under Section 4 of the Classified Information Procedures Act.
