Supreme Court denies Trump's bid to intervene in Mar-a-Lago documents case

The Supreme Court unanimously denied Trump's emergency request to allow a special master to review classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago. The ruling came in an unsigned one-sentence order with no recorded dissents, allowing the DOJ's criminal investigation to proceed using the classified materials. The rejection was notable given that Justice Clarence Thomas, who handled the initial referral, had previously indicated he would have blocked disclosure of Trump records to the January 6 Committee.
