"Judge Denies Trump's Motion to Dismiss Charges in Documents Case"

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has denied a motion by former President Donald Trump to dismiss charges in a criminal indictment accusing him of withholding and concealing classified documents taken from the White House to Florida and lying about it. Trump's lawyers argued that the statute he's charged with violating is unconstitutionally vague, but the judge rejected the motion, expressing skepticism of the defense arguments. The trial schedule has yet to be set, with prosecutors aiming for a July start, while Trump and his lawyers seek a delay until after the November presidential election.
