Attorneys for former President Donald Trump on Thursday argued in court that his Florida classified documents case should dismissed because he has presidential immunity and should be shielded from prosecution.

In four motions to dismiss the indictment to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, his lawyers wrote that the case should be dismissed and he should be shielded from criminal prosecution because he has presidential immunity.
