"Trump's Legal Defense Strategy for Classified Documents Case Revealed"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's legal team will argue in a Florida federal court to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's case against him for unlawfully retaining classified government records during the presidential transition. Trump's lawyers claim that as president, he had the discretion to make documents personal and that the charges present open legal questions. Prosecutors argue that the records are presidential, not personal, and that Trump was not authorized to possess classified records after leaving office. The defense is also seeking to delay the trial, while the judge has not yet ruled on the trial schedule.
