The Justice Department is appealing U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to name an independent arbiter to review records seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump's Florida home.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Thursday that it was appealing a judge's decision granting theto review records seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump's Florida home.
Law enforcement officials said they would suffer “irreparable harm” if Cannon's directive remained in place, noting that uncertainty about the boundaries of the judge's order had led the intelligence community to temporarily halt a damage assessment of the classified records taken from Mar-a-Lago. That order has the likely impact of slowing the pace of the investigation into the presence of classified documents at the Florida property.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, said the yet-to-be-named special master will be responsible for reviewing the records from Mar-a-Lago and segregating out those that are potentially protected by attorney-client privilege or executive privilege.
