Trump argues presidential immunity in push for dismissal of classified documents case

They argue that Trump classified the documents as personal records under the Presidential Records Act during his presidency, making it an official act immune to prosecution.

Classified information inherently belongs to the United States and cannot be considered personal, The Guardian reported.
