The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case denied Thursday his bid to dismiss his case based on unconstitutional vagueness.

Shortly after a hearing Thursday to consider two of Trump’s motions to dismiss, Judge Aileen Cannon denied his bid to dismiss based on phrases in the statute he argued were “unconstitutionally vague,” including the terms “unauthorized possession,” “relating to the national defense” and “entitled to receive.” Cannon has not yet issued a ruling on the other motion considered during the hearing seeking to dismiss the case based on the Presidential Records Act.
