Trump Fights FBI Raid at Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump is fighting back against the Biden Justice Department at the U.S. Supreme Court. President Trump has asked the Court to review and weigh in on a specific part of the document review, when it comes to the Special Master’s review of the documents taken from Mar-a-Lago, specifically the classified documents. 

The DOJ has said it does not want the Special Master’s involvement and wants to continue its criminal investigation. In fact, as we’ve told you, the Biden DOJ actually managed to get the ruling of the federal judge who appointed the Special Master BLOCKED. 

ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou broke down exactly what the Justice Department is up to and how its manipulating the courts to keep those classified documents in its possession as long as possible and how President Trump’s legal team is taking them on:

This is a kind of a two-part attack that the new Trump attorneys are taking in the Supreme Court. One is they’re saying to the Supreme Court of the United States that the order that Judge Cannon entered appointing a Special Master and the appeal from that order was not a proper procedural step. In other words, . . . the appointment of a Special Master was not an appealable order. What does that mean?

It is required under the federal rules of appellate procedure that you cannot appeal something that is not a final order in the case that finally disposes of the case. So they are saying this is not a final disposition. This is just interlocutory, which means interim only and that you cannot appeal it. That’s number one that they’re saying. So the Supreme Court should say 11th Circuit, you stay out of this. You let Judge Cannon handle this. Judge Cannon appointed this Special Master. Let the Special Master do what the judge has told him to do.

The other thing that they’re saying is that the 11th Circuit said that the Justice Department could continue its ongoing criminal investigation of President Trump, and now the 11th Circuit blocked that and said you can continue your criminal investigation and the Special Master doesn’t have to review the documents in the meantime to determine first if they’re privileged and not disclosable.

The question is, should the Biden DOJ have ever appealed the federal judge’s order appointing the Special Master in the first place? This is purely procedural. And what the DOJ is doing is shining a spotlight on how they have not followed proper procedure at any step along the way since the FBI raided President Trump’s home in the first place.
