Donald Trump has suffered setbacks in two criminal cases against him, after judges in the United States nixed the former president’s efforts to dismiss charges over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents.

He cited the Presidential Records Act, which allows former presidents to keep personal records unrelated to their official responsibilities.
