Trump's lawyers have filed motions to dismiss the criminal case against him for retaining classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office. They argue presidential immunity protects Trump from prosecution even though this argument has been rejected in federal appeals courts in his 2020 election interference case. Trump's lawyers claim designating the documents as "personal records" was an "official act" as president that cannot be prosecuted. The trial is currently set for May but the judge has pushed back other deadlines and may reconsider the trial date.
