This week on
Trump's Trials, host
Scott Detrow is joined by NPR Justice Correspondent
Carrie Johnson and NYU law professor
Melissa Murray.
This week Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed one of former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss the Florida classified documents case. Trump argued that when he left the White House he designated the highly sensitive documents as "personal" under the Presidential Records Act.
But Cannon has not prevented Trump from using that same argument as part of his defense — something Special Counsel Jack Smith pushed back against in a recent brief.
Topics include:
- Presidential Records Act
- Jury instructions
- Gag order in hush money case
- Civil fraud bond
