they got him. and got more including the deadline from the review well past. today having gotten what they wanted they were called onto do something they ve notably not done in any court filing or proceedings so far, namely back up what their clients and allies are suggesting saying these documents were declassified. for the government s part today they signaled their willingness to take this all the way to the supreme court. jessica schneider starts us off and joins us now. let s talk about what the trump legal team told the special master. yeah, well what s interesting is their response to that ultimatum from the special master where he said he might have no choice but to accept the government s claims that 100 of those documents are classified, if trump s team doesn t step windup the proof that the former president declassified them. and that s really something that trump s legal team has resisted repeatedly asserting both in person in court and in legal filings. s ....
response to that ultimatum from the special master. when he said he might have no choice but to accept the government s claims that 100 of those documents are classified, if trump s team doesn t step up with the proof that the former president declassified them. and that s really something that trump s legal team has resisted repeatedly asserting both in person and in court and in legal filings. so we saw a filing last night and they said that they might have to save any evidence of declassification to use it as a defense if trump is indicted, and then today in court, trump s attorney jim trusty, he said that the legal team, they haven t seen the documents yet so they can t fully address the declassification issue. so really, they are dodging this question at every turn and really anderson, they have gotten themselves into someone of thorny situation here. the special master is saying he needs proof or else he will believe of the government. in a separate related but ....
Special master s review is already moving full steam ahead here. so if they lose their appeal on the 11th circuit court of appeals, how likely is it that they take it to the supreme court, and what kind of timetable that involved? very likely it would go to the supreme court. the doj arguing for the doj today said very plainly that the special master if they lose in the 11th circuit to trump s team, that this will be appealed. that means it could move to the next to the supreme court. how quickly is a big question. the nine justices could step in very quickly, they could sit on it a while, but given this case involves those classified documents in his feud that could now be up for review by special master, i think it s likely the 11th circuit will move quickly here and if doj loses or if either side appeals, then ultimately the supreme court would move pretty fast too if it gets to that point. jessica schneider appreciate it. joining us is jonathan miller cnn s chief and intell ....
Court today said pretty plainly before the special master if they lose in the 11th circuit to trump s team that this will be appealed, and that means it could move next to the supreme court. how quickly is a big question. the nine justices could step in very quickly. they could sit on it a while but given this case involves classified documents in dispute that could be up for a special master i would think it s likely the 11th circuit could move quickly here and if the doj loses or either side appeals ultimately the supreme court would move pretty fast, too, if it gets to that point. jessica schneider, appreciate it. joining us now is steve miller. he is among other accomplishments in the counter terrorism for the police department. a lot to talk about. it s a little bit confusing for folks that have been following. ....
Day, affirm the decision. i think this is likely the result. the claim of absolute immunity here is really beyond what any court has ever offered the white house before. i think this is a solid ruling that is likely to be upheld, even if there are some republican appointees on the d.c. circuit panel. however, that is going to take time no matter what the result is, and i think time is just a very important part what s going on with this whole legal fight, how long it will take. if the higher court does decide to uphold the district court decision, is it an absolute certainty it would go to the supreme court? no. i think the d.c. circuit has to hear all appeals of when a losing side appeals from the district court, the d.c. circuit has to take the case. there s no where it of secertio ....
