Former President Donald Trump's attorneys and the special counsel who indicted him over his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House are set to convene in federal court Tuesday for a key hearing on how classified materials will be shared between the parties as the case moves towards trial. While the hearing is mostly a routine conference in the pretrial process for any case involving classified information, special counsel Jack Smith's office described it in a recent filing as a "crucial step" in their prosecution of Trump and his codefendant, longtime aide Walt Nauta.
