Former President Donald Trump has filed a series of motions in a Florida federal court seeking to dismiss the classified documents case against him, citing presidential immunity among other reasons. The motions, ordered to be filed by Feb. 22 and argued before Judge Cannon, focus on Trump's authority under the Presidential Records Act to designate documents as personal, making their handling an 'official act' of the presidency. The case, centered on documents found at Mar-a-Lago, is set for trial in May. Trump's legal team argues the prosecution is legally flawed, citing the vagueness doctrine, Trump's possession of a valid security clearance, and the unlawful appointment of special counsel.
