Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge on Thursday to dismiss his classified records case in Florida, arguing he is shielded by presidential immunity.
The Republican presidential front-runner’s latest effort to claim he is immune from prosecution follows his similar efforts to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith’s separate case that alleges Trump attempted to subvert the 2020 election. An appellate court rejected that argument earlier this month, prompting Trump to appeal to the Supreme Court.
