The Justice Department is appealing a court-ordered special master review of the materials seized by the FBI at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.
The Justice Department is appealing a court-ordered special master review of the materials seized by the FBI at former President Donald Trump's Florida home, it said Thursday.
The Justice Department is also asking US District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointee who ordered the special master, to pause part of her order, originally delivered on Labor Day, with the prosecutors saying the government has halted the intelligence community's review of classified documents.
"The application of the injunction to classified records would thus frustrate the government's ability to conduct an effective national security risk assessment and classification review and could preclude the government from taking necessary remedial steps in light of that review -- risking irreparable harm to our national security and intelligence interests," the DOJ wrote.
