Former President Trump’s legal team is back in court Monday after a hearing in which both sides argued the legality of Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment in the classified document case against the former president. Proceedings will continue with a potential gag order against Trump.

The judge overseeing the trial, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, is considering motions to dismiss the case against former President Trump, in which he is alleged to have mishandled classified documents.
