"Judge Orders Trump to Use Secure Facility for Classified Documents in Federal Case"

Judge Aileen M. Cannon has ruled that former President Donald Trump must use a secure facility to review classified documents in the ongoing case against him. While the judge did not specify the location, she suggested that it should not be at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club and residence in Florida. Prosecutors had objected to Trump discussing the secret papers at Mar-a-Lago, citing concerns about security and special treatment. The judge's order also granted a protective order over the classified materials, indicating agreement with the prosecutors' requests. The case accuses Trump of illegally retaining classified documents and conspiring to obstruct the government's efforts to retrieve them.
