A federal judge has ruled against former President Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss the prosecution of classified documents against him. The defense argued that the Presidential Records Act allowed Trump to retain records from his time in office, but prosecutors contended that this law did not apply to classified information.
The judge, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, rejected Trump's arguments, stating that the indictment against him did not reference the Presidential Records Act. She emphasized that the case did not rely on this statute for stating an offense.
