FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Lawyers for Donald Trump are asking the judge presiding over his classified documents case to prevent prosecutors from using as evidence boxes of records seized during an FBI search of his Florida estate. The arguments marked the conclusion of a three-day hearing in which prosecutors and defense lawyers have sparred over topics ranging from the legality of the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith, whose team brought the case, to whether the Republican former president should be barred from making comments that could pose a risk to the safety of FBI agents involved in the investigation. There was no immediate ruling but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon appeared skeptical of the defense arguments.
