Trump Seeks Dismissal of Classified Documents Case, Citing Selective Prosecution

Donald Trump has requested a Florida court to dismiss charges against him, pointing to alleged selective prosecution compared to other officials like Joe Biden.

• Trump argues his case is unfairly targeted, contrasting with the DOJ's handling of similar cases involving Biden and other officials.
• Judge Aileen Cannon, nominated by Trump, is yet to rule on the motion to dismiss based on claims of vindictive prosecution.
• Trump's legal team cites numerous examples of public officials mishandling classified documents without facing similar charges.
• Special Counsel Jack Smith, leading the prosecution, contends that Trump’s case involves distinct and serious allegations of willful misconduct.
• Trump’s multiple attempts to dismiss the charges include arguments under the Presidential Records Act and claims of unconstitutional vagueness in the Espionage Act charges.
