The ruling by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida came just hours after a hearing in which his lawyers argued that the central charge in the case is improperly vague.
District Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling came hours after Trump appeared in courtA federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump's first request to have the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case thrown out.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to a 40-count indictment accusing him of illegally taking sensitive government documents with him when he left the White House in 2021. And last week, the Supreme Court ruled that Colorado, or any other state, did not have the power to strike him from ballots because of the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Arguments focus on a law that make it a crime for an unauthorized person to willfully retain national defense information.
People wait for a moving van after boxes were moved out of the Eisenhower Executive Office building inside the White House complex, on Jan. 14, 2021, in Washington, as the Trump administrations enters its final days in office Bove said that includes President Joe Biden, the recent subject of a harshly critical report by special counsel Robert Hur on the president's handling of classified information.She has repeatedly pointed out that no former president has ever been charged with mishandling classified documents, and made the same point Thursday.
In a filing last week, his team said the act 'does not exempt Trump from the criminal law, entitle him to unilaterally declare highly classified presidential records to be personal records, or shield him from criminal investigations — let alone allow him to obstruct a federal investigation with impunity.'
