Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Wednesday asked the judge overseeing his classified documents case to reestablish his Mar-a-Lago resort as a "secure facility" where he can discuss classified discovery evidence in the case.
Special counsel Jack Smith's team requested a protective order that would require Trump to only review and discuss classified evidence in one of several highly secure locations run by Florida's federal courts. Trump's lawyers on Wednesday asked Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee handling his case, to instead allow him to review and discuss the classified evidence at "a previously approved facility at or near his residence," an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago, according to The New York Times.
