Trump's Florida Trial

In Florida, Defense attorneys representing former President Donald Trump's co-defendant argued in court for dismissal of charges related to moving classified documents to Mar-a-Lago and conspiring to hide them from investigators. Trump's aide, Walt Nauta, faced allegations of moving boxes containing classified documents and then lying about it.
