Ex-US President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the dispute over sensitive documents seized by the FBI during a search of his Florida estate in August.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Trump wants the justices to allow a court-appointed arbiter, known as a special master, to vet the handful of files with classification markings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Last month an appeals court exempted those 103 documents from the review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Supreme Court is expected decide on the matter within days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In August, the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach in an investigation into whether Mr Trump and his aides mishandled government records or national security secrets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the weeks since the unprecedented incursion into a former president’s home, the Trump legal team has been challenging the Department of Justice (DoJ) by contending that the material is shielded from scrutiny under a legal doctrine known as executive privilege – which allows some presidential records to be kept private.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
