Former President Donald Trump had asked the Supreme Court to allow the special master reviewing the seized documents to access those marked as classified.
Trump's lawyers had said the appeal's court's decision to block access to the special master "impairs substantially the ongoing, time-sensitive work of the special master." They added that "any limit on the comprehensive and transparent review of materials seized in the extraordinary raid of a president's home erodes public confidence in our system of justice."
The appeals court said certain documents are deemed classified because they contain information that could harm national security, and for that reason people may have access to them only if they need to know that information. Trump sued the government after the August search of his Mar-a-Lago residence, seeking to prevent the government from using them as part of a criminal investigation and asking for the appointment of a special master to review the documents.
Under federal law, official White House records are federal property and must be handed over to the National Archives when the president leaves office. Trump says he did nothing improper and wants Dearie to determine the status of the documents, including those marked as classified. Although the Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority, including three justices he appointed, Trump has not recently fared well in other emergency applications, including his attempt to prevent White House documents from being handed over to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, and his bid to avoid disclosure of his financial records to prosecutors in New York.
