Trump's Legal Team Pushes for Dismissal of Classified Documents Case Based on Presidential Immunity

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers are urging a Florida judge to dismiss the criminal case charging him with illegally retaining classified documents, citing presidential immunity and arguing that his designation of the papers as "personal" records under the Presidential Records Act was an official act made while he was in the White House. Trump's lawyers are also attacking the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith as "unlawful" and the law he is accused of violating as "unconstitutionally vague." The case accuses Trump of hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them, with the trial currently scheduled for May.
