Trump asks judge to reject DOJ's request to continue to review documents seized from Mar-a-Lago
CNN
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Monday urged a federal judge to reject the Justice Department's attempt to continue to review documents seized from Mar-a-Lago as part of its criminal investigation, saying that the materials may not be classified and that his Florida resort is secure.
Trump argues that he has broad authority as President to declassify records, and that a former President should have "absolute right of access" to presidential records -- whether they are classified or not.
"In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records," Trump's legal team writes.
