Lawyers for Donald Trump urged a federal judge on Thursday (Friday morning AEDT) to dismiss the classified documents case against him, arguing the statute that underpins the bulk of the charges is unconstitutionally vague as applied to a former president.Trump looked on in the courtroom as US District Judge Aileen Cannon heard arguments over whether the case should proceed or whether, as Trump's lawyers hope, it is thrown out before ever reaching a jury — a rare action for a judge to take.Cannon asked probing questions of both sides and didn't immediately rule on Trump's motion to dismiss the case, which accuses the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee of hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left the White House.
