Donald Trump’s defense attorneys Wednesday asked the federal judge handling the government’s classified documents case
to allow the former president and his legal team to discuss sensitive information at a protected facility at or near his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.Trump’s lawyers said that he used the facility while he was president and that they would not transport any classified material to that location — only discuss it there.
The request is the latest in a back and forth that is playing out in court filings between Trump’s attorneys and the government as they try to determine the conditions that he must agree to before federal prosecutors give him classified materials as part of the discovery process. During discovery, prosecutors hand over the evidence they have collected to a defendant’s legal team so the attorneys have the opportunity to make a strong case in defense of their client.
Prosecutors have charged Trump with 32 counts of illegally retaining national defense information at the Florida property and then deceiving investigators as they demanded the materials be returned. In all, he faces 40 charges in this case. In their filings, prosecutors have argued that Trump should be treated like any other defendant and only be allowed to discuss classified information in a government-accredited sensitive compartmented information facility, known as a SCIF. Under federal law, highly sensitive government information is typically only allowed to be viewed in these SCIFs.
