The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to reject former President Trump's plea to intervene in his legal battle and allow the special master to review the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. Trump's request came after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Justice Department, siphoning off some 100 classified records from the third party review of the document seized from his Florida home.
