Former President Donald Trump's legal team filed multiple motions to dismiss the classified documents case brought by special counsel Jack Smith, arguing presidential immunity, unlawful appointment of the special counsel, inappropriate application of statutes, and Trump's right to custody of the documents under the Presidential Records Act. Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, pleaded not guilty to charges related to mishandling classified materials, while a superseding indictment added obstruction counts. Trump has denied all charges, labeling the probe as a political witch hunt.
