Ahead of his scheduled court appearance today, Donald Trump and his advisers to gather a legal team have scrambled after he was charged last week with mishandling classified documents and obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve them. |
To fight the charges, his lawyers may assert that the former president had a right to take the documents from the White House and that he had previously declassified them.  They could also accuse the prosecutors of misconduct, try to show that he was a victim of selective prosecution, or seek to have potentially damning evidence excluded from the trial. |
Those claims could be difficult to sustain in court. Experts said that it was difficult in general to have a federal indictment dismissed before going to trial. |
