Donald Trump moves to dismiss criminal charges accusing him of mishandling classified documents

Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday asked a federal judge to dismiss criminal charges accusing him of illegally holding onto sensitive US national security documents when he left office, arguing the prosecution is legally flawed.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to a 40-count indictment in Florida federal court accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Florida resort after leaving office in 2021 and obstructing US government attempts to retrieve them.

Prosecutors working with US Special Counsel Jack Smith accused Trump of keeping documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida that included information about the US nuclear program and potential domestic vulnerabilities.

Donald Trump sought to conceal boxes containing classified papers after receiving a grand jury subpoena demanding their return, according to the indictment.

Trump was charged alongside his personal aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira, who also moved on Thursday to dismiss the charges. Both have pleaded not guilty.

A trial is scheduled to begin in May, but Trump has sought a delay. US District Judge Aileen Cannon has scheduled a March 1 hearing on the timing of the trial.
