"Mar-a-Lago Judge Denies Trump Co-Defendants Access to Classified Documents"
TL;DR
Judge Aileen Cannon has granted Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to deny Donald Trump's co-defendants access to sensitive materials they are accused of concealing at Mar-a-Lago. The judge ruled that the co-defendants' personal review of the classified materials would not be relevant and helpful to their defense, and that they failed to explain how it would help counter the allegations against them. The trial is currently scheduled for May 20, with a scheduling conference set for March 1 to address related motions.
