Trump elevates Mar-a-Lago raid legal battle to Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has elevated its legal battle to the Supreme Court, requesting that Justice Clarence Thomas, who has jurisdiction over the 11th Circuit, vacate the stay by the court that allowed the Justice Department to continue its review of classified documents seized during the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago. 

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued an injunction against the DOJ's use of the 100 documents purportedly marked as classified to be used for investigative purposes.

The 11th Circuit overturned Cannon's order and prevented court-appointed Special Master Raymond Dearie from reviewing those materials. The panel had limited Dearie's review to only the non-classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
