Overview

• Donald Trump's legal team filed multiple motions to dismiss charges in the classified documents case, arguing for presidential immunity and criticizing the Espionage Act.
• The motions challenge the legality of Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment and claim the case is politically motivated.
• Trump's lawyers argue that he designated classified documents as personal, a move they say is protected under the Presidential Records Act.
• Legal experts and former officials have criticized the motions as lacking credibility and potentially dangerous to national security.
