CNS News– In a significant development in the federal criminal case against former President Donald Trump, the presiding judge, Aileen Cannon, has denied one of Trump’s motions to dismiss the case. The motion in question argued that the main statute prosecutors are using against him is unconstitutionally vague as it applies to presidents.
Judge Cannon ruled that this argument is premature and is better suited to be addressed later in connection with jury-instruction briefing or other appropriate motions. This decision indicates that the judge is skeptical of Trump’s defense team’s arguments and suggests that the case will proceed to trial.
The ruling came after a daylong hearing during which Trump’s legal team sought to have the charges against him dismissed. Trump’s attorneys had also argued that the Presidential Records Act bars his prosecution, but Judge Cannon indicated that she was skeptical of this argument as well.
The case revolves around allegations that Trump wrongfully retained classified documents after leaving the White House. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include willful retention of national defense information, false statements, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
