Lawyer for former President Donald Trump indicated in a court filing that they want to use classified documents to cross-examine witnesses in his federal election trial in Washington.

In a filing Tuesday, his attorneys wrote that pursuant to the federal Classified Information Procedures Act, the former president “expects to disclose, or to cause the disclosure of, the classified information described in the document that was produced by the Office and made available to the defense” by prosecutors earlier this month.
