Summary

Former President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the dispute over the FBI’s seizure of classified material at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump is asking the court to ensure the more than 100 documents marked as classified are part of the special master’s review. CNN Senior Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic tells Anderson Cooper how she thinks this will play out. Plus, the death toll from Hurricane Ian has risen to at least 109 people. Ian made landfall last week in Florida as a powerful Category 4 storm. CNN National Correspondent Randi Kaye joins AC360 to discuss the timeline of evacuation orders in Lee County, which was one of the hardest hit areas and where at least 55 people have died.

Good evening, the Ombuds 2 months since the FBI executed a lawful court approved search

0:05.2

of Mar-a-Lago, which yielded more than 100 documents marked as classified that do not

0:09.4

belong to him, the former president has taken nearly every step possible to slow the

0:13.4

legal process surrounding them, everything short of taking his case to the Supreme Court,

0:31.9

Attorney General Eric Holder, but first, he means Justice Corp. Jessica Schneider.

And exactly what the former president's lawyers are asking for, and perhaps significantly,

0:40.3

which justice they're asking.

0:41.7

Jessica, what more do we know about what the former president is seeking from the court?

0:45.2

Yeah, so right now they filed this emergency request at the court, Anderson.

0:48.4

Even though they waited almost two weeks after the 11th Circuit ruled on this, and now we're

Basically, what they want is the special master to get access to these 100 classified documents

1:06.5

that he's been blocked from reviewing ever since the 11th Circuit ruled.

1:10.9

And crucially here, if the special master regained access, that would mean that Trump's legal

1:15.8

team would also get to see these classified documents, and that's something that they've
