## Shouting match at classified documents hearing as Trump ally tries to dismiss charges

Authored by independent.co.uk

A hearing in Donald Trump’s classified documents case descended into a chaotic shouting match as lawyers fought over claims of an alleged threat against a defense attorney.

Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Mr Trump, is expected to rule at a later date.

But the hearing quickly devolved into mayhem over a disagreement about an August 2022 meeting between prosecutor Jay Bratt and Mr Nauta’s defense attorney Stanley Woodward.

Mr Nauta argues that he was then hit with charges because he did not cooperating with the Department of Justice and its probe into Mr Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Judge Cannon presided over two separate hearings in the case on Wednesday – based on two separate motions, each of them seeking to dismiss charges in the federal classified documents case.

The Trump legal team has already filed several motions to try to dismiss the charges against him in the classified documents case.

The files included secret documents from the Pentagon, the National Security Agency, and the CIA. »
