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 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.
