The Supreme Court appears to have no interest in getting involved in the Trump mishandling of government documents because there is no question of unsettled law.
The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has not done Trump’s bidding because they have a very narrow view of executive power. Trump’s idea that a president or ex-president can do anything that they want and hold unlimited power is a theory that the Court does not agree with.
Donald Trump still thinks that “his judges” will bail him out of any trouble that he gets into.
The Supreme Court has rejected Trump, which means that he has nowhere else to go on this issue.
Trump went to court and lost again.
