Former President Donald Trump wants permission to be able to review the documents he is accused of illegally retaining at his Mar-a-Lago country club the scene of the alleged crime, and where the FBI eventually recovered them during a raid a year ago.

In a Wednesday filing with U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, his lawyers said that the SCIF a sensitive compartmented information facility that had been set up for Trump on his South Florida property during his presidency be reestablished, and that it was simply too burdensome for Trump to have to travel to already existing SCIFs in the area to consult with his lawyers as they prepare for trial.

Both the required security protocol surrounding President Trumps travel and the challenges surrounding the medias and publics intense focus on this prosecution pose an enormous obstacle to our ability to provide counsel to President Trump regarding classified matters, which are, no doubt, essential to the case, Chris Kise and Todd Blanche wrote in the 11-page brief.

Limiting any discussions with counsel to the government offered SCIFs is an inappropriate, unnecessary, and unworkable restriction, they wrote. Re-establishing the same secure area that existed during President Trumps term as President of the United States is a secure, efficient, and cost-effective way for these conversations to take place in a fully secure environment.

In several footnotes, Trumps lawyers stated that they were not at this point asking for the documents to be physically transported to or kept at the proposed on-property SCIF, but merely to be able to discuss them with Trump.

It is unclear, however, how they would do so without at least redacted copies in front of them. Neither Kise nor Blanche responded to HuffPost queries.
