Washington (AP) – Former President Donald Trump urged a Judge from Florida that you charge the criminal case illegally classified with maintaining documents, claiming that the President’s immunity protects him from prosecution, even after failing in the federal courts in a separate case.
In one of the speeds attacking the case brought by Special Advocate Jack Smith, Trump’s lawyers echoed late Thursday night, which were rejected by a federal appeal court this month in his 2020 election intervention case in Washington this month. Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in that case as the Republican President Primary Front-Runner wants to delay the trial by the November election.
Trump’s lawyers wrote that allegations of classified documents turn on their alleged decision to nominate the papers as a “personal” record under the President’s Records Act, and argued that they could not be prosecuted as he was a “official act” while he was still in the White House.
Trump has denied doing wrong things in all four criminal cases that are coming in front of him, and he has cast himself as a victim of a politically motivated justice system as he wants to recover the White House in November.
Washington’s federal appeal court In his judgment of this month, it was uneven in his repetition of Trump’s novel claim that the former President enjoys complete immunity for the tasks under his official job duties. But Trump’s lawyers argued that the appeal court’s verdict was wrong, asking us not to follow the “poor logical decision” of the court in the case of classified documents.
In filing in another court late on Thursday night, Trump’s lawyers argued that the appointment of Attorney General Merry Garland’s Special Advocate Smith was “illegal” to investigate the former President and was the basis for rejecting the case of documents. They are also attacking the law, Trump is accused of violating “unconstitutionally vague” as per his implementation in his case.
In this case, Trump has been accused of illegal hoarding classified documents in his Mar-e-Lago Estate and obstructing government efforts to recover him. In the June 1 2023 prosecution, he was accused of charging with dozens of hooliganism that investigators found boxes of sensitive documents stored carelessly in Mar-e-Lago in places including a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, their bedroom and a storage room.
The prosecutors have said that the documents he had chosen refused to return and in some cases visitors were shown that not only with foreign countries but also the protection of soldiers and confidential sources. He has also accused Trump of an employee of asking an employee of removing the camera footage in his Florida Estate in an attempt to obstruct the federal investigation into his record.
The case is currently scheduled to go for testing in May, but Judge Canon has pushed back several other deadlines and indicated an openness to re -look at the date of the test during an important pre -probe conference for March.
Smith’s second case against Trump, accusing him of planning to eliminate his 2020 election loss, was to go for a test in March, but the date was canceled, while the former president carried forward his claims of immunity to the President. Trump’s lawyers have asked the Supreme Court to apprehend the case, while he continues to fight his president’s immune claim.
The Supreme Court has earlier admitted that the President is immune to civil liabilities for official acts, and Trump’s lawyers have argued for months that security should also be extended for criminal prosecution.
Justice’s decision on what to do on this and how quickly they work can determine whether the 2020 election case goes to test before the November election. As Trump, if he wins, it carries a huge political impact – possibly exercise his rights as the head of the Executive Branch to try to order a new Attorney General to dismiss federal matters. Or he can potentially ask for an forgiveness for himself – something that is legally unused proposal.
