Judge denies Trump bid to dismiss cases

MIAMI – A federal judge on Thursday rejected former president Donald Trump’s bid to dismiss charges that he mishandled classified documents after leaving the White House.

“The Presidential Records Act does not provide a pre-trial basis to dismiss,” Cannon said in a brief order. While handing Smith a partial victory in refusing to toss the case based on the Presidential Records Act, Cannon defended her request for draft jury instructions saying it “should not be misconstrued.”

Trump also faces federal charges and an indictment in Georgia for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
