Trump asks US Supreme Court to intervene in 'document case'
Former US President Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in the case relating to documents seized this summer from his Mar-a-Lago, Florida residence.
Trump sent an urgent request to the Supreme Court to prevent the Department of Justice from examining 100 documents bearing the "secret" stamp seized in his home, and this request does not relate to the legality of the search operation carried out by the federal police in August and does not address the substance of the case, but rather includes an objection to a decision issued by Court of Appeal The ministry is allowed to scrutinize documents without waiting for the results of the work of an independent expert responsible for reviewing the 11,000 documents that were confiscated.
But the Supreme Court, which Donald Trump made profound changes during his presidency, is not obligated to accept his appeal, and it includes six conservative justices among its nine members.
This new legal battle concerns the White House archive.
When Trump left office in January 2021, Donald Trump took entire boxes of documents, while a 1978 law requires any US president to send all of his emails, paperwork, and other working documents to the National Archives.
