Trump attends closed-door hearing in classified documents case
CBSN
Washington — Attorneys representing former President Donald Trump and special counsel Jack Smith are set to argue in separate closed-door hearings on Monday about the use of classified evidence in the federal case against the former president in Florida.
Trump is attending the portion of the Fort Pierce, Florida, hearings in which his defense attorneys and those of his co-defendants — aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos de Oliveira — will present to Judge Aileen Canon the classified information that they say could be necessary at trial, CBS News has learned.
Nauta and de Oliveira, however, are not permitted to attend Monday's sealed hearing because they lack the necessary clearances to view what could be highly sensitive government information.
