Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers on Saturday argued that his Florida classified documents case should be postponed because he’s scheduled to be in New York for a separate trial for the next several weeks.

“President Trump has a constitutional right to be present at the trial in New York and, as a result, cannot participate in this work relating to important parts of his defense,” President Trump’s attorneys wrote in the filing to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.
