Ex-President Donald Trump appealed to the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter involving classified documents seized from his Florida residence has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the fight over classified documents the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago home.
The ex-president’s lawyers state that it was crucial for the special master to access the classified records in order to ‘determine whether documents bearing classification markings are in fact classified, and regardless of classification, whether those records are personal records or Presidential records’.
‘The unchallenged views of the current Justice Department would supersede the established authority of the Chief Executive’ without a special master review, the lawyers state. Trump’s emergency application comes after an appeals court ruled that the Justice Department’s criminal probe into the handling of the classified documents could proceed.
