The Washington Post · Trump in court for hearing on classified documents chargesBy Perry Stein

As per #HugoLowell

#Breaking

« #DonaldTrump [currently out on #bail] asks Judge #Cannon 2 dismiss #ClassifiedDocuments case on #PresidentialImmunity grounds, arguing he designated docs as personal under #PresidentialRecordsAct which made them “official acts” o the presidency.
He also asks Judge Cannon 2 dismiss Count 19 because he retained a “Q” clearance — although #SCO has already made clear this was purely clerical bc it is a clearance that applied only when person is president »

#FactCheck on #Trump’s fact-free a.m. #TruthSocial rant:

“The #PresidentialRecordsAct explicitly states that the federal government, not the president, owns presidential records; most legal experts say that the Clinton "socks" case has nothing to do with the charges currently being brought against Trump; and the #EspionageAct has been used to bring charges multiple times, including recently against an #FBI analyst who had stashed classified #documents at her #residence.” rawstory.com/trump-truth-socia
