Trump team to make two arguments in court to get classified documents case dismissed

Washington — Former President Donald Trump's lawyers will be trying to convince a federal judge in Florida Thursday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents case against him.

Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hear arguments on two motions filed by Trump, one that says the former president is shielded from prosecution by a federal recordkeeping law, and another that claims one of the charges presents numerous open legal questions. 

It will be the second hearing in as many weeks when Trump's team and prosecutors in Smith's office face each other in Cannon's courtroom.
