Supreme Court rebuffs Trump in Mar-a-Lago docs fight

Source: Politico | October 13, 2022 | Josh Gerstein

Judges turned down former President Donald Trump’s request to step into the legal fight over documents the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate.

……..

The former president was seeking an order to return about 100 documents with classification markings to a review process a “special master” is conducting of more than 10,000 documents the FBI took during the Aug. 8 search of Trump’s home.

But no member of the court publicly signaled a willingness to grant emergency relief for Trump. The court also offered no explanation or rationale for declining Trump’s request, which would have allowed his attorneys the ability to review the most sensitive records the FBI obtained during their ongoing probe.
