Trump Lawyers Ask Congress to Halt DOJ Probe Into Handling of Classified Info

Trump's lawyers proposed lawmakers place U.S. intelligence agencies in charge of reviewing how Trump handled classified info after leaving office.
Trump's lawyers argued the DOJ should stop investigating Trump and let intelligence agencies review and report to Congress.
Trump's lawyers claimed White House practices for classified info differ from other government agencies, so the case should be civil not criminal.
The defense focused on early 2022 when the National Archives sought to retrieve records from Trump, arguing the DOJ unfairly tried to build a criminal case.
Legislation like what Trump's lawyers proposed is already being discussed in Congress.
