Leading the story: In the 40-page filing, Trump’s legal team argued that the Justice Department has not successfully demonstrated that the documents “claimed to be classified are in fact classified and their separation is inviolable.” Trump’s team argues that a document with classification markers “does not necessarily negate claims of privilege,” including Trump’s handwritten notes. The big picture: Trump’s testimony comes after his legal team on Monday night objected to a request by the special counsel reviewing the documents for disclosures about the declassification of documents found at his Florida residence, Axios’ Rebecca Falconer reports ....

“This investigation of the 45th President of the United States is both unprecedented and misguided,” Trump’s lawyers, James Trusty and Christopher Keyes, wrote in their response. “In what is at its core a document storage controversy that has spiraled out of control, the government is unfairly seeking to criminalize the 45th President’s possession of his own presidential and personal records.” In their 40-page filing, Trump’s lawyers told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that the FBI’s seizure of documents from Trump’s South Florida home in Mar-a-Lago presents “exceptional circumstances that warrant review by a neutral third party....

Ukrainian forces have invaded Russian-held areas of northern Donetsk in a move that the UK Ministry of Defense said on Friday was “putting pressure on territory that Russia considers essential to its war aims”. Fighting in northern Donetsk has been described as “ongoing” as Ukrainian forces launch a counter-offensive in the town of Liman, which Russia has captured since May. Lyman is about 30 miles west of Izyum in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, where Ukrainian troops have seen major gains this month recapturing the majority of occupied territory and forcing Russian troops to retreat....

Residents in the Russian-controlled regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia were asked to vote on proposals to declare the four regions independent and then join Russia.

In a strongly worded 29-page ruling, the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit vacated key parts of a Florida federal judge’s ruling that blocked the department from using about 100 redacted records in its investigation into whether Mr. Trump retained illegal national defense documents and thwarted repeated attempts to retrieve them. The appeals court also agreed with the Justice Department that Mr. Trump’s lawyers — and an independent arbitrator recently appointed to review the seized materials — need not review classified documents the FBI ordered from Mr....

The details were revealed by Michelle Donnellan, the UK’s culture secretary, after the nation’s longest-reigning monarch was buried at Windsor Castle on Monday.
