This is AP News. I'm Rita Falle. This morning a federal judge in Florida is hearing arguments on whether to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Trump. His lawyers say the Presidential Records Act allowed him to keep sensitive records with him when he left the White House. Prosecutors say the statute doesn't apply because those records are presidential, not personal. Donald Trump did have a win of sorts yesterday in a Georgia case. The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case has dismissed six of the charges in the indictment, including three against former President Trump. John Acevedo at the Emory University School of Law explains why. There was more than enough facts alleged in the indictment, but this is to turn you forgot to state which law was being violated. The order does leave many other charges intact, including 10 counts against Trump and Acevedo says the ruling does not necessarily kill the case. It's a small error. It's something that can be remedied, but it's going to cause quite a bit of delay. Funny, Wallace will either have to go back amend these charges, re have them indicted on them and then proceed, which will cause quite a bit of delay. Or she'll have to appeal. I'm Ben Thomas.

The Israeli military is talking about what it calls "humanitarian islands" in Gaza, where people can go for food and shelter. The APs Karen Shamas. Israel plans to tell 1.4 million Palestinian civilians displaced in the southern city of Rafa to seek shelter in central Gaza ahead of a planned military offensive in the area. The Israeli military said the Palestinians would be directed towards what it called "humanitarian islands" in the middle of the enclave. Most of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been forced from their homes, with many driven into sprawling tent camps. A quarter of Gaza's population is starving according to the United Nations. Rafa is Gaza's main entry point for aid. Humanitarian groups fear a military offensive into the densely crowded area would be a catastrophe. But Israel says Hamas maintains full battalions in Rafa that it wants to destroy. I'm Karen Shamas. And I'm Rita Foley, AP News.
