Mar-a-Lago probe: Supreme Court denies Trump appeal for special master to review classified records
Fox News
The Supreme Court has denied former President Trump’s motion to allow Special Master Raymond Dearie access to review classified documents seized by the FBI.
Trump's attorneys last week elevated the former president's legal battle to the Supreme Court, requesting that Justice Clarence Thomas, who has jurisdiction over the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, vacate the stay by a lower court that allowed the DOJ to review classified records taken in August from Mar-a-Lago instead of court-appointed Special Master Raymond Dearie.

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 Dearie from reviewing those materials. The panel had limited Dearie's review to only the non-classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
