Former President Donald Trump has challenged special counsel Jack Smith’s bid to conceal case details in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, arguing in a new court filing that Mr. Smith’s sealing requests undermine his ability to get a fair trial.

Mr. Smith’s team has sought to keep some documents sealed in the case that accuses the former president of retaining sensitive government materials, including some that were marked top secret, at his Mar-a-Lago home.
