The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday filed a motion requesting a federal appeals court to fast-track its appeal of the appointment of a special master to review documents the FBI seized at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.

The DOJ on Friday proposed that the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals orders all written briefs be filed in the case by Nov. 11, and hold any necessary hearing in the case as soon as that briefing is completed. Currently, the deadline for the briefs is scheduled for about a month later—Dec. 9—and oral arguments have not been scheduled.
