Former President Donald Trump is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the legal battle over government documents the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate, a Tuesday filing shows.
Trump’s legal team asked Justice Clarence Thomas to issue an emergency order authorizing the special master’s authority to review over 100 documents seized from Mar-a-Lago with classified markings.
The request was directed to Justice Thomas because he oversees the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled last month that special master Raymond Dearie cannot review the documents that were marked classified.
The 11th Circuit also ruled that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can continue using the documents in its investigation while the special master conducts his review. However, Trump’s filing on Tuesday does not seem to dispute that portion of the 11th Circuit’s decision.
“For our part, we cannot discern why Plaintiff would have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings,” the 11th Circuit three-judge panel wrote.
The 11th Circuit also questioned Trump’s claims that he declassified the documents in question.
“But the record contains no evidence that any of these records were declassified. And before the special master, Plaintiff resisted providing any evidence that he had declassified any of these documents,” the 11th Circuit added.
However, Trump’s legal team urged Justice Thomas to grant their request in the name of transparency and restoring public confidence in the nation’s justice system.
“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,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in the 37-page filing.

The Supreme Court is expected to resolve this issue within weeks, as Trump’s request was filed on the Court’s emergency docket.
Justice Thomas requested a response from DOJ attorneys by October 11.
An entire superior branch of government bowing down under a inferior non-branch of government. I don’t know what they are thinking.
Traitor Roberts is a dyed-in-the-wool Never Trumper.
Roberts will say no. He hates Trump.
This will be a clash between Thomas and Roberts.
The great John Roberts, George W. Bush’s little Rat weasel. We will never get a fair shake as long as it has to do with Trump. He’s the #1 Trump Hater.
SCOTUS has already shown they are hyper partisan when they denied their Constitutional duty to rule on whether or not 2020 was a contested election.
they doubled down when they refused to hear President Trump’s case of election fraud against the DNC/Biden
they won’t step in on this one either... unless it was to allow the dems to do whatever they want

IS this like demanding I do all your bookkeeping, but I cannot have access to any of your invoices/receipts/vendor statements/bank account statements/payroll/etc???
AND-—There is a deadline for my results to be produced???
What case is that?
Every time a judge asked Trump's attorneys if they were alleging fraud, they said no.
It is worse than this, your teenage son is mad at you and has control of your ability to transfer money out of your bank but you can’t get your balance
name one case that was allowed to be heard.
there wasn’t a single one.
You were talking about fraud cases. I’m not aware of a single one that went to court.
Trump’s lawyers never alleged fraud.
Election fraud is a crime. Are you aware of a charge from a DA or AG anywhere in the country alleging fraud that wasn’t heard?
to have a charge there needs to be an investigation by law enforcement... ie: the FBI
of which, they’ve done no investigation
there has been investigations... ie: 2000mules.com ... but we’re not supposed to talk about that... as it would emphasize how incompetent or corrupt the FBI has become
of which, they’ve done no investigation
What about all the local and state law enforcement agencies? After all, elections are run by the states so they have jurisdiction.
Where are all the fraud charges?
If you’re going to cheat at the national level, you will:
1. Stuff ballot boxes
2. Control the counting
3. Control local police to curtail investigations
4. Control the state courts to avoid any penalties
Keep in mind, there’s a reason dems control mostly urban areas notorious for crime and corruption
There were plenty of witnesses coming forward. Plenty of bad / fraudulent ballots submitted and count... but no investigations. Why do you suppose that is...
But elections aren’t run nationally. Every state runs their own with different administrators, different rules and different technology.
Have you thought about what it would take to execute such a vast conspiracy across 50 states and many thousands of local election boards?
There were plenty of witnesses coming forward. Plenty of bad / fraudulent ballots submitted and count... but no investigations.
There are probably thousands of Republican DAs and AGs across the country. Do you think they were all unwilling to investigate claims of fraud?
the party is national... they’re the ones cheating on a national level.
this really is exceedingly obvious. especially when there is video confessions of ballot box stuffers explaining how much they were paid per ballot (between $10 and $40 per ballot)
as for republican DAs and AGs... they can’t bring a case in other states. i mean, seriously. are you just trolling?
