Supreme Court rejects former President Donald Trump’s request to intervene in Mar-a-Lago documents fight
- The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a request by former President Donald Trump to vacate a lower appeals court ruling in a case related to the FBI raid and seizure of documents from his Florida residence last month.
- Trump had asked the Supreme Court to allow a so-called special master to review more than 100 classified documents that were found by FBI agents at his home among the more than 11,000 government records seized at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
- The request came after the 11th U.S. Circuit of Appeals barred that watchdog, who was appointed by a federal judge, from examining the classified documents.
- The appeals court said that subset of records could only be reviewed by the Department of Justice, which is conducting a criminal investigation of Trump.
The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a request by former President
Donald Trump to allow a so-called special master to review classified government documents that were seized from his Florida residence during an FBI raid in August.
Trump had asked the court to overturn a recent 11th U.S. Circuit of Appeals ruling barred the special master from examining the more than 100 classified records as part of his broader review of more than 11,000 government documents seized at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
The appeals court said that subset of classified records could only be reviewed by the Department of Justice, which is conducting a criminal investigation of Trump for his removal of government documents when he left office in January 2021.
Trump’s lawyers last week told the Supreme Court in a filing that the appeals court’s ruling “impairs substantially the ongoing, time-sensitive work of the special master,” who was appointed by a federal judge to examine all the seized documents to see if any should be withheld from the DOJ for use in its probe.
Those attorneys also argued that “any limit on the comprehensive and transparent review of materials seized in the extraordinary raid of a president’s home erodes public confidence in our system of justice.”
The DOJ had urged the Supreme Court to deny Trump’s appeal.
In a court filing Tuesday, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued that Trump has “no plausible claims” to the classified records.
The Supreme Court, in its order Thursday, said, “The application to vacate the stay entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on September 21, 2022, presented to Justice [Clarence] Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied.” There were no dissents by any of the Supreme Court’s justices noted in the order.
Thomas has oversight over emergency appeals from the 11th Circuit.
Trump’s appeal to the Supreme Court was on a relatively narrow issue and was not expected to affect any ultimate decision by DOJ on whether to file criminal charges against him or others.
Even if he had prevailed, the DOJ would have been able to continue its review of the classified documents, and almost certainly been able to use them in the probe. The DOJ has said the review is necessary to determine if there might be other documents that were not uncovered in the raid.

not that it would have made a difference if the supreme court sided with cheetolini or not, but its nice to see him getting rekt some more.
the demander-in-chief is running out of time and the supreme court has just struck down the only option he had left as a last ditch desperation effort to try to stall the DOJ from accessing those classified documents they recovered from his golf course and using it against him in a criminal prosecution. whats next? is the tangerine tornado simply just going to stamp his feet some more and tell everybody that clarence thomas has defected and sold out to the deep state and he is now part of the witch hunt orchestrated by the radical left and the weaponized DOJ, on this political hitjob, the likes of which the country has never seen before?
i guess all thats left now before he comes under indictment is waiting for the 11th circuit to laugh donnie out of court some more after the DOJ appeal. not that the DOJ even cares much about that in the grand scheme of things anymore. theyve already got everything they need to make their case and get a conviction, all safe and secure in their hands. its not going anywhere! and the DOJ really has no interest in the rest of the documents unless more of them surprisingly turn out to be incriminating as well and they can use it in their prosecution as well, but they already knew what they had and had everything seperated and all their bases covered well before the special master came in. so it doesnt even matter what the 11th circuits ruling is with the DOJ's appeal, which they have agreed to fast track.
all, or most of all those documents are likely cheeto benito's property and the DOJ really has no interest in those documents anyways as they are moot to their case they are about to make. they're just simply going to have the appeals court kick trump around some more and get rid of his special master once and for all, just so that they can finish up with their investigation and get straight down to business without having to deal with any more of the the human corncob's shenanigans or stalling tactics.
anyways its nice to see that things are still going well for diaper don. its been another fine day in the courts. the one-pump chump must be tired of all of this winning. get fucked donny.
