A federal judge refused to give former President Donald Trump permission to discuss classified documents at the place where he allegedly mishandled them — his Mar-a-Lago resort.
In an order entered Wednesday, US District Judge Aileen Cannon in Fort Pierce, Florida, sided with prosecutors in ruling that Trump and his lawyers could only discuss classified evidence in a secure facility. She declined to adopt Trump’s proposal to designate a site at Mar-a-Lago for that purpose.
