"Judge Denies Trump's Access Request in Mar-a-Lago Classified Docs Case"

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge denied Donald Trump's request to access a sensitive court filing in a case where he is charged with retaining national defense information. The filing, known as a section 4 motion under the Classified Information Procedures Act, contains classified information that prosecutors want to redact. The judge ruled that Trump's legal team could still prepare a defense without access to the filing, and rejected Trump's motion, stating that granting access would defeat the purpose of protecting national security in Espionage Act prosecutions.
