00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:03Judge Eileen Cannon agreed to remove a paragraph from Donald Trump's indictment that referenced
00:07him waving around a classified document at his Bedminster Club in 2021.
00:12The judge ruled the paragraph should be removed because Trump was not charged for that specific
00:16conduct, adding it could unfairly prejudice a jury.
00:19The removed paragraph described Trump showing a classified map of Afghanistan to his 2024
00:24campaign chief and criticizing the U.S. withdrawal while president.
00:27Prosecutors had argued the conduct was relevant to proving Trump's state of mind or intent,
00:32but the judge disagreed since he wasn't charged for it.
