The new criminal charges deepen Trump’s legal jeopardy, alleging a more central role for the former president than previously known in a cover-up that prosecutors say was meant to prevent them from recovering top-secret documents. W/@aedurkinricher apnews.com/article/eb6f5c620…

During Trump’s arraignment, the magistrate judge said prosecutors should give defense lawyers a list of witnesses that trump is barred from talking about the case with. Cannon’s order today does not conflict with that— so trump still cannot talk to those witnesses about the case

The Justice Department is on a tight timetable to work out conditions for using classified information in the upcoming trial against Donald Trump, but the former president could have his own plans for dragging it out trib.al/pWOS3SR

Had a good conversation with Ben Wittes of @lawfareblog about the Trump indictment, how CIPA cases normally work (focusing on DOJ-IC interactions), and the challenges that lie ahead.
Ideal listening for washing dishes, walking the dog, or zoning out while at a 6 hour swim meet.
Here @secretsandlaws —Brian Greer, formerly of CIA's general counsel ofc—explains how govt will try to use classified info in a public trial to prove Trump's guilt without making the info public. [Upshot: trial will not occur before election.]

If you want to read a long, boring article about how classification and declassification actually work, please check this out. You can skip to "Reality #4" if you want to read about presidential declassification.

How can a president actually declassify a document? What procedures do they need to follow? How does government classification and declassification work day-to-day?
Brian Greer (@secretsandlaws) and Wendy Leben provide the insider view.

Many are calling for counterintelligence investigations and prosecutions to move faster.
Former national security prosecutor David Aaron explains that it takes time to get these cases right and properly protect defendants’ rights and national security.
