Federal prosecutors on Monday said former President Donald Trump is seeking 'special treatment that no other defendant would receive' in the criminal case accusing him of retaining classified documents at his Florida club after leaving the White House.
The filing said that the proposed protective order that prosecutors are seeking"reflects standard procedures for handling classified information in criminal cases and is consistent with the law."
Trump,"on the other hand, seeks special treatment that no other criminal defendant would receive and that is unsupported by law or precedent" by asking that a SCIF be built at one of his homes, prosecutors wrote. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case, where he also is accused of trying to hide from government officials the boxes of records he was keeping at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
Prosecutors in their filing said Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club"is even less suited than most residences to host a secure location, because it is a social club."
