Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling restoring the Justice Department’s access to classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
“The Eleventh Circuit lacked jurisdiction to review, much less stay, an interlocutory order of the District Court providing for the Special Master to review materials seized from President Trump’s home, including approximately 103 documents the Government contends bear classification markings. This application seeks to vacate only that portion of the Eleventh Circuit’s Stay Order limiting the scope of the Special Master’s review of the documents bearing classification markings,” Trump’s lawyers write.
