Former President Donald Trump waves to supporters as he leaves federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Fla., on Thursday.A federal judge has denied a motion by former President Donald Trump to dismiss the charges in one of the criminal indictments he's facing. Trump is accused of withholding and concealing classified and top-secret documents that he took to Florida from the White House and then lying about it to investigators.
Bove also said it's not clear what the statute means when it talks about documents"relating to the national defense." Prosecutors again maintained it is clear and that it includes anything that's labeled classified or top secret. Cannon hasn't taken action yet on the second motion argued Thursday. In that one, Trump's lawyers argued that the Presidential Records Act allowed the former president to take the boxes of documents to Mar-a-Lago. They say that law allows presidents to retain personal documents. By taking them to Mar-a-Lago rather than sending them to the National Archives, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche said Trump was effectively designating them as personal.
