DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR WAVING AROUND CLASSIFIED PAPERS-Former President endures further harassment at court 

The federal judge overseeing Former President Donald Trump’s prosecution on charges of retaining classified documents agreed on Monday to erase a paragraph about the former president waving a classified document at his Bedminster club in New Jersey; from the indictment.

US district judge, Aileen Cannon, ruled that she would strike off the paragraph, because President Trump was not charged with a crime for the conduct it described, and would be unfairly prejudicial if a jury later saw it at trial.

The judge ruled that the passage should be expunged, relying in part on a federal rule that says evidence of “other crimes” cannot be used against a defendant to suggest bad character, without addressing the second part of that rule that allows it in the case that it shows proof of motive.
