Just last week, the Supreme Court denied the former president’s request to block a congressional committee from receiving copies of six years of his tax returns, clearing the way for them to be handed over to lawmakers.“The decision does not address the merits that clearly demonstrate the impropriety of the unprecedented, illegal, and unwarranted raid on Mar-a-Lago.” U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon of Florida agreed months ago to appoint Judge Raymond J. Dearie of Brooklyn as special master to review the Mar-a-Lago documents, rejecting the Justice Department’s argument that former presidents cannot claim executive privilege after leaving office.They said they could not issue an order that “allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant.” “Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so,” the Thursday opinion read.And both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations.” During oral arguments, government attorney Sopan Joshi called the decision to name a special master an “intrusion” on the executive branch.In their opinion, the judges rebuked a central part of the argument by Trump’s legal team: that the Presidential Records Act allowed Trump to categorize presidential documents as personal ones, creating the need for a special master to determine whether personal documents should be shielded from investigators."
