  1. Trump in court for hearing on classified documents charges

    Presumptive GOP presidential candidate D. J. Trump attended a court hearing Thursday where his lawyers tried to convince a federal judge to throw out the charges against him for #mishandling highly #classified #documents at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club.

    
At the hearing, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen M. #Cannon heard from prosecutors and defense lawyers about Trump’s claim that he is protected from prosecution by the Presidential Records Act, and what his legal team says is the unfairly vague language of the federal law on national defense secrets.
    
National security law experts say Trump’s arguments about the records act misstate the law. But Trump has made that argument central to his defense, since FBI agents searched his home in 2022 and found more than 100 classified documents he had not turned over to the government, even after being subpoenaed for them.
    
Cannon could schedule hearings in coming weeks to deal with other #dismissal #motions the defendant has filed.

  3. As someone who has had a #government #security #clearance I'm just going to say this...

    #Mishandling of #classified materials is never good and should always be #investigated.
    With that said though - if you can't see the difference between the two approaches to handling classified document breaches, well then you don't really care about classified materials at all, and you think that right and wrong is determined by nothing more than the letter beside someone's name.
