Former President Donald Trump filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court over the FBI raid on his Mar-A-Lago estate

Trump wants the court to temporarily block the Justice Department from reviewing classified documents seized at his Florida estate in early August.

The appeal came days after a three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals said investigators could retain the classified documents and review them as part of a criminal investigation.

Despite nominating three associate justices during his time in the White House – Trump’s record at the Supreme Court hasn’t been too successful.

The high court repeatedly refused pro-Trump efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.

The litigation stems from an Aug. 8 FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, which came as part of a federal investigation into allegations he took classified documents from the White House.

Because the case is filed on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket, the justices could resolve the dispute relatively quickly – potentially within a matter of days.

In a recent interview on Bloomberg, Yellen stated that “For the US, the kinds of metrics that we would monitor that would summarise risks — whether it’s asset valuations or a good degree of leverage — things look good, I don’t see red lights flashing”. #featured #trending

Former President Donald Trump has promised to slap unprecedented Tariffs on foreign allies, including the European Union, if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

Trump pledged to reduce the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S.

While he had already said he wanted to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%, he had not previously tied that lower rate to keeping manufacturing inside the country. #featured #trending
