The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an appeal with a federal court to halt the use of a special master to review documents that were taken by FBI agents from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in August.
The DOJ claimed that federal U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to appoint a special master was erroneous, alleging the decision is interfering with their investigation. Government lawyers then asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate Cannon’s order, which was handed down in September.
