FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has arrived at a federal courthouse in Florida for a closed hearing in his criminal case charging him with mishandling classified documents. Monday’s hearing was scheduled to discuss the procedures for the handling of classified evidence in the case, which is currently set for trial on May 20. Trump faces dozens of felony counts accusing him of hoarding highly classified records at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructing FBI efforts to get them back. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon expects to hear arguments in the morning from defense lawyers and in the afternoon from prosecutors, each outside of the other’s presence.
