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
circuit didn t have the jurisdiction to act when it did. and now they want the supreme court to step in. notably, this request from trump s team goes directly to justice clarence thomas. but that is actually because he oversees all petitions that come in from the 11th circuit. it is likely here that justice thomas will refer this to the full court to decide this issue. but anderson, we have seen trump appeal to the supreme court several times in the next few years, with little success. it was just earlier this year that the justices allowed the january 6th select committee to gain access to the white house record, notably justice thomas dissented from that. and back in 2020, they ruled that they could not block his financial documents from prosecutors in new york. so this was filed as an emergency order, the justices could potentially rule pretty quickly after the doj response to this early next week on tuesday. what does it mean for the justice departments investigation, t
on, and sat down. you know the breaking news beckons. yeah when, the breaking news beckons. thank you, victor, i ll see you tomorrow. this is don lemon tonight, and won t be long now, because it s got to happen before midnight, any minute now we re expecting the doj s response to team trump s request for a special master to drop. and this is not just some routine paperwork, it s going to get a lot here. it s gonna be a, doozy so you want to stay tuned. again, it s supposed to happen before midnight, so it s supposed to happen in the hours that were on. now the justice department got special permission from the judge to submit an extra long response, up to 40 pages, twice as long as a usual 20-page lemon. the doj says they need to quote, adequately address the legal and factual issues raised by trump s filings. what is in those 40 something pages? we should know soon. but those factual issues, it certainly sounds intriguing, doesn t it? so remember, this is all about tru
information classified at the highest levels. for context that s more than twice the amount that had been handed over in june after a grand jury subpoena. some documents were so sensitive government officials needed a higher level of security clearance just to review them. the doj says government records were likely concealed and removed and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government s investigation. we will find out what that could mean and why those seized passports may actually be relevant after all. here is what we don t know at this hour, how will trump s team respond? they have until 8:00 p.m. tonight and how will the judge rule after that special master hearing tomorrow? the doj says a special master would, quote, significantly harm important governmental interests, including national security interests. we will dig into all of that and more with our team of reporters and analysts. let s bring in nbc s julie ainsley former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid
coming days to bolster his very high stakes endorsements in that state. dr. oz for senate and congressional candidates jim bognet. president biden is in wilkesbury, pennsylvania today. that is lucerne county. this is a huge swing district in pennsylvania. it went from president obama in 2012 and turned for trump in 2016 and again in 2020. president biden would like to see that home turf of his go back to the blue side. so we re waiting for the president s remarks moments away as the controversy continues to boil over his decision to bail out millions in student loan debt. sean duffy and david asman is here with me. but first, we begin with peter doocy who has had a busy week. hello, peter. martha, the white house is really not providing a lot of detail about how this student loan debt forgiveness is going to work or who is paying for it. they spent a day last week explaining it s going to happen but now most of the talk is coming from outside the house. i think a lot of w
