The Department of Justice on Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to avoid intervening in the government’s ongoing documents dispute with Donald Trump, asserting that the former president is not entitled to have the court put the materials before an independent arbiter.
Trump had asked the court to put more than 100 documents with classification markings back in the hands of the special master appointed to review the materials seized from Mar-a-Lago.
The DOJ said in their latest filing that Trump «has no plausible claims of ownership or privilege in the documents bearing classification markings» and said that he has never represented in court that he declassified any of the documents — «much less supported such a representation with competent evidence.
