Judge in Trump classified documents case grants his request for one hearing, denies bid for another

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge presiding over the classified documents case against ex-President Donald Trump in Florida has granted a defense request for a hearing on whether prosecutors improperly breached attorney-client privilege when they obtained crucial evidence from one of the Republican’s ex-lawyers. But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon denied a request for a hearing on a separate Trump team claim the Justice Department submitted false or misleading information in an application for a warrant to search Trump’s Florida estate two years ago. The order ensures further delays in a criminal case already snarled by significant delays, resulting in the indefinite postponement of a trial that had been set to begin May 20.
