jessica schneider on exactly what the former president s lawyers are asking for and perhaps significantly which justice they re asking. jessica, what more do we know about what the former president is seeking from the court? right now they ve filed an emergency request at the court, anderson, even though they ve waited two weeks after the 11th circuit ruled on this. now we re finding out that the justice department has one more week to file its response. trump s team here, they re asking for very limited relief. basically what they want is the special master to get access to these 100 classified documents that he s been blocked from reviewing ever since the 11th circuit ruled and crucially here, if the special master regained access, that would mean that trump s legal team would also get to see the classified documents. that s something they ve long been angling for. what trump s team is arguing, they say the 11th circuit didn t have the jurisdiction to act when it did. now
