The judge in Donald Trump's classified documents trial 'took the bait' offered by the former president's lawyers by not outright rejecting their motion to dismiss, a legal expert said.Former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg was reacting to the recent ruling from Judge Aileen Cannon, who threw out Trump's legal team's claim the charges related to the Espionage Act are 'unconstitutionally vague' when applied to the former president and should be struck down.
It is well established in the law, and these claims have been rejected previously,' Greenberg added.'It was clear to Donald Trump. He said he understood he possessed classified materials, he was told by the National Archives he could not have them after he left the presidency, he was told by former White House members, and he was told by his own lawyers. It was not vague to him.'Trump's legal team has been contacted for comment via email.
