The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected former President Donald Trump's bid to have an independent arbiter vet classified documents that were seized by the FBI from his Florida home as part of his legal battle against investigators. On the same day he was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 House committee, the justices issued a brief order denying Trump's emergency request to lift a lower court's decision preventing the arbiter from reviewing more than 100 documents marked classified that were among roughly 11,000 records seized by the FBI on Aug. 8.

The jury deliberated for a full day on Wednesday and briefly on Thursday before deciding that Cruz should receive life in prison with no chance of parole for the 2018 case.
