"Trump's High-Stakes Court Appearance for Classified Documents Case"

Former President Donald Trump is in court for closed-door hearings regarding the handling of classified materials in his criminal trial for retaining White House documents, with potential impact on the trial date. The dispute revolves around whether the government can withhold classified materials from Trump's lawyers, threatening to delay the scheduled May trial. Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, is expected to address the remaining deadlines in the case, including the dispute over classified materials and Trump's request to delay the trial. Trump is also expected to file motions to dismiss the federal charges against him later this month.
