Time - Former President Donald Trump's legal team filed multiple motions Thursday night urging a Florida judge to dismiss the criminal case charging him with illegally retaining classified documents, claiming in part that presidential immunity protects him from prosecution — an argument they have already submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in his election interference case. Lawyers Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche wrote that the charges "turn on his alleged decision to designate records as personal under the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and to cause the records to be moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago." Since Trump made this decision while he was still in office, they wrote, it "was an official act, and as such is subject to presidential immunity." Trump faces dozens of felony counts in federal court in Florida accusing him of illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. The case is currently set for trial on May 20, but that date could be pushed back.

NBC News -What happens if Donald Trump wins another presidential term? Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary who has become a sharp Trump critic, said she and some of her former colleagues have discussed moving to countries with nonextradition treaties. Maybe it's a dark joke but nonetheless, Grishman said she's been saving up and "making other arrangements." Interviews with more than a dozen people who have run afoul of Trump reveal deep worry among many that he will seek revenge if he wins another term in the White House. Those people include a key figure in Trump's first impeachment, a former press aide who testified before the House Jan. 6 committee and others. Like Grisham, they're considering leaving the country and padding their savings accounts while they fear what Trump might do.
