Federal prosecutors have made a case to a federal judge to reject former President Donald Trump's claims of being unfairly targeted in the classified documents investigation. Trump's lawyers argued that the prosecution should be dismissed due to alleged selective prosecution, pointing out that other public figures, including President Joe Biden, faced less serious cases or were not prosecuted at all.
However, special counsel Jack Smith's team countered this argument by stating that Trump's conduct was significantly more egregious than that of the other officials mentioned. They highlighted Trump's alleged efforts to retain highly sensitive classified materials, obstruct the investigation, and involve subordinates in a scheme of deception and obstruction.
