Federal judge denies Trump motion to dismiss classified records case based on Presidential Records Act

FOX News

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy has more on President Biden's latest polling and his stance on immigration on'Special Report.' The federal judge presiding over former President Trump's classified records case has denied his motion to dismiss the charges based on the Presidential Records Act. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, last month, also dismissed Trump's motion to dismiss charges of retaining classified documents on the grounds of "unconstitutional vagueness." In a filing Thursday, Cannon denied the former president's motion to dismiss, saying that the charges against Trump "make no reference to the Presidential Records Act, nor do they rely on that statute for purposes of stating an offense." Cannon said the Presidential Records Act "does not provide a pre-trial basis to dismiss" the case, saying "all of which state cognizable offenses."
