JUST IN: The US Supreme Court rejects former President Donald Trump's request to intervene in Mar-a-Lago documents fight, denies allowing special master access to classified files
Trump had asked the justices to reverse a federal appeals court and allow a special master to review about 100 documents marked classified, a move that could have opened the door for his legal team to review the records and argue that they should be off limits to prosecutors in a criminal case. But in a brief order, the court denied the request. There were no noted dissents. For now, the documents will stay out of the reach of the special master.
Trump has argued that he may have had a right, as a former president, to possess certain government documents, including documents potentially containing the country’s most sensitive secrets. And he claimed that the appeals court exceeded its authority in ruling against him.
