Trump Seeks Dismissal of Classified Documents Charges

Citing presidential immunity and other defenses, Trump's legal team files motions to dismiss the classified documents case.

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.
The Supreme Court is considering Trump's claim of presidential immunity in a separate election interference case, with implications for the classified documents case.
