BREAKING: The DOJ urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s request in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.
Federal prosecutors asked the 11th Circuit to stay a portion of Cannon's order, seeking to regain access to the subset of 103 documents marked as classified. They also separately asked the appeals court to review Cannon's order appointing the special master.
"In any event, at least for these purposes, the declassification argument is a red herring because declassifying an official document would not change its content or render it personal," the three-judge panel wrote."So even if we assumed that [Trump] did declassify some or all of the documents, that would not explain why he has a personal interest in them."
In her filing, however, Prelogar called Trump's assertions that he had the authority to declassify records while in office, and his contention that the special master's appointment was warranted because the case involves a document storage dispute"wrong and irrelevant." The former president's"reliance on the PRA is misguided because he did not comply with his PRA obligation to deposit the records at issue with [the National Archives] in the first place," the filing alleges."As a result, the Archivist does not have custody of those records, and the PRA's procedures do not apply to them."
