Trump Lawyers Ordered to Obtain Security Clearances by Judge in Criminal Trial Case

TL;DR Summary
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has ordered all attorneys in the case against former President Donald Trump to contact the Justice Department about obtaining security clearances. The case revolves around Trump's alleged hoarding of highly classified national security documents at his private residence and obstructing efforts by federal officials to reclaim them. The government is likely going to have to share key aspects of those documents with Trump and his legal team. Both Trump and his co-conspirator, Walt Nauta, are looking to fill out their legal teams in the coming days.
