Former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court Tuesday to step in to his dispute with the Justice Department over classified records removed in August from his Mar-a-Lago resort by the FBI.
In a nearly 300-page filing, the 45th president’s attorneys asked the justices to stay an earlier ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that allowed the Justice Department to continue using documents marked as classified in the criminal investigation of whether Trump violated federal law relating to custody of government records.
Florida US District Judge Aileen Cannon had ordered the appointment of a neutral third party, known as a special master, to review the thousands of documents and determine whether they were covered by attorney-client privilege, executive privilege, or other protections.
The appeals court’s order removed the more than 100 classified documents from the special master’s review pile.
