A judge in Florida will hear arguments Thursday on whether to dismiss the federal government's case alleging former President Donald Trump illegally took classified and top-secret documents with him upon leaving the White House.
Trump's attorneys say their client was entitled to keep such records when he returned to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, arguing the Presidential Records Act gives him the authority to designate the documents as personal and keep them.
Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and his team argue the files in question are presidential records, not personal ones, and that the act does not apply to classified and top-secret documents like those kept at his estate, according to the Associated Press.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, is presiding over the case.
Cannon is also expected to hear arguments on a separate but related motion by Trump's lawyers. They argue the basic on which the bulk of the criminal charges are based is unconstitutionally vague as it applies to a former president, the wire service also reports.
Nevermind...
No one here cares what you have to say. Your TDS has been off the charts for a long time. The sooner you leave US the sooner we can forget you.
bttt
What’s worse?“
That he was only a Senator.
No one gives a crap what you think
It has become clear to me their are NO good judges.
The entire Judicial system is a total joke.
Trump's lawyers were not allowed inside Mar-a-Lago to witness the FBI search of Trump's property.

You’re welcome to love and want a King Trump in America, just don’t claim it’s patriotic or conservative to want a King in America. We got rid of monarchies before and the Trump family won’t be one either.
When the media reported that the Judge dismissed the one request, they neglected to add what the Judge said:
She said: “ at this time.”
EVEN NEWSMAX DIDN’T REPORT IT.
MADE ME A LITTLE SICK/
>> I do however, despise being misled by someone, which is exactly what I believe is happening when Trump is attempting to claim bla bla bla
You twist the facts like a pretzel. Your boundless hatred of President Trump as he endures persecution by satan and his minions is evil and disgusting.
Catch that cheese that's sliding off your cracker. Where has anyone EVER said "King Trump"? This is just more of your lies, half truths and innuendo that you have been bringing to this forum for years now. Your TDS is mental madam "ultra conservative".
His motion got denied, FYI, by a judge he himself appointed. Even she can’t get around the clear and simple language of the Presidential Records Act, that Trump has been clearly lying about. I’m not going to support blatant lies, no matter who they’re coming from. Neither should you.
He may eventually win this case on another technicality, or the gross comparison of Hillary and Biden not being prosecuted for similar transgressions, but since we all said “lock her up” etc on those cases, we shouldn’t now say Trump didn’t do something wrong himself. He may not deserve jail, since they got away with it, but that should be his defense, not lies about what the laws say.
Why are you on this site you are overwhelmed with TDS, GET LOST, no one here wants to hear your dribble!!!
You told me I should leave the US, since I refuse to completely submit and bow before your new king. I’ll vote for him if he’s our nominee, and give him credit when he deserves it, but I’m not bowing before him or anyone in his family the way you do. When he lies, it should be called out, not defended. He’s just another politician, who don’t deserve to be trusted to begin with. And his overall record is a mixed bag, especially with him still not admitting how horrible he handled the pandemic/vax and national debt. You need to wake up and realize he’s no messiah and start holding him to account instead of fawnIng all over him like you do. You try to talk tough but your weak underbelly of blind subservience to one politician gives you away.
You twist the facts like a pretzel. Your boundless hatred of President Trump as he endures persecution by satan and his minions is evil and disgusting.
This is a conservative site, and I’m a true conservative. Trump admitted the other day he is not a conservative, so there are times I disagree with him, as should other conservatives if they are true tom their principles. I will still vote for him if he is the Republican nominee, but that is for President, not king. Hope that explains it and you have a great rest of your day.
You are still around? What gall. Go away.
Damn son. When I say U.S., that's what I mean. When I say US that means us. Can you see the difference? Your TDS rants are stupid on steroids. You're an unhinged Trump hating nutter. Why don't you leave US alone?
Calm down drama queen.. that isn’t what was written and you are annoying to almost all of US.
