Justice Dept. asks Supreme Court to deny Trump’s request in Mar-a-Lago case
said Trump’s emergency request should fail because he has not shown how he would be harmed without the Supreme Court’s intervention or that the appeals court order was wrong.
The Justice Department on Tuesday pushed back against the Trump lawyers’ arguments that the appeals court lacked jurisdiction to say what the special master could review, saying the panel of judges had authority to review the entire ruling appointing a special master, not just portions of it. “In any event, any such invocation would necessarily yield to the government’s ‘demonstrated, specific need for evidence’ in its criminal investigation concerning the wrongful retention of those very documents and obstruction of its efforts to recover them,” the filing reads.
In response, investigators went to a judge to authorize a search warrant, which FBI agents executed at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8.
