The U.S. Supreme Court today denied former President Donald Trump’s request to intervene in his legal battle over classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago, The Hill reports. The Supreme Court’s denial of the request means fewer than five justices voted in Trump’s favor, though a vote breakdown was not publicly disclosed. Trump’s legal team had wanted the high court to lift a stay granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that allowed the Justice Department to review more than 100 classified records taken from Mar-a-Lago during its August search.
