A legal battle will get underway in a federal appeals court on Tuesday. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to argue against a September order appointing an outside special master to review documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Such an appointment is, in effect, keeping those records out of investigators’ hands as they press ahead with a criminal probe against Trump.
The expedited hearing is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. EST on Nov. 22 in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia, according to court documents (pdf).
