"Special Counsel Challenges Judge's Handling of Trump Documents Case"

Federal prosecutors are urging Judge Aileen Cannon to promptly address a key dispute in the case involving former President Donald J. Trump's handling of classified documents, expressing frustration with the delays caused by her "fundamentally flawed" order. They are seeking a decision on Trump's claim that he cannot be prosecuted for taking home national security documents after leaving office, arguing that this assertion lacks factual basis and was concocted after his presidency. The prosecutors' move reflects mounting impatience with the judge's unhurried pace, raising doubts about whether a trial will take place before the November election.
