Trump’s lawyers request the dismissal of his indictment.
Lawyers for former U.S. President Donald Trump have asked a federal court to dismiss his indictment related to the unlawful retention of classified government documents, arguing his immunity.
According to some experts, this is the most significant criminal case against Trump, filed by the Justice Department’s special counsel regarding the unlawful retention of classified government documents after his presidency.
The former President of the United States has been brought to court on suspicion of personally retaining national security documents and obstructing the government’s efforts to access them.
This is not the first time Mr. Trump’s lawyers have argued presidential immunity from legal prosecution. Previously, in mid-February, an appeals court rejected this legal argument in the case of Trump’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and now his lawyers are awaiting the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court on this matter.
