Judge denies Trump's motion to dismiss documents case

Judge denies Trump’s motion to dismiss documents case

April 4, 2024 Benjamin Hughes

Washington — A federal judge in Florida denied former President Donald Trump’s motion to dismiss the classified documents indictment against him, ruling the Presidential Records Act (PRA) does not shield Trump from charges that he unlawfully retained national defense information.

In a brief order issued Thursday, Cannon rejected Trump’s argument that a 1978 recordkeeping law used to manage official White House records during each presidential administration, the Presidential Records Act (PRA), should prevent the special counsel’s case from moving forward.

Special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump in a 40-count indictment that includes 32 alleged violations of a national security law known as the Espionage Act, which makes it illegal to mishandle national defense information. The FBI ultimately recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence over 300 sensitive government records, which prosecutors accused him of illegally keeping.
