Judges panel tosses special master for former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago documents
The judges at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, two of whom were appointed by Trump, overturned U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's September ruling that would have appointed a third-party special master to review the thousands of documents seized at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, the Washington Post and the Associated Press reported."The law is clear. We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant.
According to the AP, the judges' ruling comes as no surprise since they raised skeptical questions towards a Trump lawyer during arguments last week. Also, the news outlets pointed out that two of the three judges previously ruled that the Justice Department could use the Mar-a-Lago documents in a criminal probe.
