Black Site SCOTUS

Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the legal battle over classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate. He's specifically challenging a ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that prevents the special master, Judge Raymond Dearie, from reviewing approximately 100 documents marked as classified. Trump's legal team argues that the 11th Circuit's decision improperly limited the special master's review, contending that the appellate court lacked jurisdiction to override the district court's initial order appointing Dearie. They believe the special master should have access to these documents to determine if they are indeed classified and whether they are subject to attorney-client or executive privilege. The Justice Department had successfully argued to the 11th Circuit that the classified documents should be excluded from the special master's review to prevent potential national security damage and to maintain control over the ongoing criminal investigation. The department also maintains that Trump has no legal right to possess these documents. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case could significantly impact the special master's review process and the broader investigation into Trump's handling of classified materials after leaving office. A ruling against Trump would expedite the DOJ's investigation. A ruling in his favor would prolong the process and potentially give him an advantage in delaying or disrupting the inquiry. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-asking-supreme-court-let-195220384.html
