WASHINGT0N (AP) — The Democratic National Committee wants a federal judge to allow it to see any emails between Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee about issues related to ballot security and voter suppression.

A federal judge in New Jersey on Thursday scheduled arguments for next week.

The DNC claims presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign is trying to intimidate and discourage minority voters and the RNC is supporting his efforts. It has cited Mike Pence's comments that the campaign and the RNC are working closely with state governments "to ensure ballot integrity."

The RNC has called the DNC's filing "completely meritless." Its response is due later Friday. The judge has said he will decide Monday which requests he'll allow.
