Legal Delays and Expert Response in Trump's Classified Documents Case

The criminal case against Donald Trump over his retention of classified information faces delays as special counsel Jack Smith argues that the judge is relying on a flawed legal premise regarding Trump's potential immunity under the Presidential Records Act. Smith has indicated that he would appeal to a higher court if the judge rules in Trump's favor, potentially leading to further delays in the trial, which could extend beyond the November election. Trump faces multiple criminal charges and his lawyers are pursuing delaying tactics, seeking to put off trials until after the election or avoid them altogether.
