Former President Donald Trump\u0027s legal team will square off against the U.S. Justice Department in federal court on Thursday.

The hearing comes less than two days after prosecutors laid out fresh details about their ongoing criminal investigation into whether Trump illegally retained government records and sought to obstruct the government’s probe by concealing some of them from the FBI.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

In Trump’s initial request to the court, his attorneys claimed that the former president wanted to protect materials that were subject to a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which can shield some presidential communications. In their filing, prosecutors revealed that Trump’s records custodian, whom they did not name, falsely certified that a thorough search had been conducted and all government records had been returned to the government.

The department ultimately decided to seek court approval for a search warrant, after the FBI developed evidence of possible obstruction.
