Donald Trump indicted: Lawyers want Mar-a-Lago SCIF to discuss classified documents case

The team of Justice Department prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith have sought to block Trump from releasing any classified materials that are to be shared with his team in the case, seeking a so-called protective order in the case.

Trump's lawyers also pushed back on the government's allegation that the request is based on an"inconvenience," arguing it would be more cost-effective than sending the former president and his security detail to remote facilities, such as the SCIF set up at the southern Florida federal courthouse. Trump's team requested that the government approve the use of the previously approved secure location during his time as president so that he can communicate with his attorneys about the sensitive records at issue in the case.
