Donald Trump’s push for a special master in the Mar-a-Lago docs case ended Thursday after he failed to challenge an appeals court ruling rejecting such oversight.
Former President Donald Trump’s quest for outside supervision of the Justice Department’s investigation into sensitive White House records seized at his Mar-a-Lago estate came to an end Thursday, after he failed to challenge an appeals court ruling rejecting such oversight.
The appeals court’s order means the DOJ probe into potentially illegal retention of national security secrets, theft of government records and obstruction of justice can move forward without any external restrictions on prosecutors’ and investigators’ use of nearly 3,000 records the FBI seized from Trump’s Florida home in August, pursuant to a search warrant.
“President Trump will continue to fight against weaponization of law enforcement and pursue appropriate legal avenues to obtain the items that were brazenly and illegally seized from his home during the Biden regime’s unconstitutional raid,” said Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung. “Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails after they were subpoenaed by Congress, yet absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable.
Even though about 100 of the documents bore classification markings like “Top Secret,” Trump claimed to have declassified them all. His attorneys asserted that they shouldn’t be used in the probe because they were covered by executive privilege. Prosecutors insisted that both claims were meritless.
