"Prosecutors Push Back Against Trump in Classified Documents Case"

Special counsel Jack Smith's legal team rejected former President Donald Trump's claims of political bias in the classified documents case against him in Florida, urging the court to deny Trump's request for certain documents. Prosecutors contended that Trump's recent court filing sought to cast suspicion over responsible actions by government officials and disputed the timeline of events leading up to the Mar-a-Lago search. Trump's attorneys had indicated they'll argue prosecutors carried out a politically motivated and biased probe into the former president's handling of classified documents with the goal of damaging his 2024 bid. The case is currently set to go to trial in May, and Trump also faces another trial in Manhattan related to alleged hush money payments.
