Legal experts praise DOJ move in Mar-a-Lago investigation
The U.S. Department of Justice responded on Thursday to a controversial Monday ruling by Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon who ordered a special master to oversee the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.
"DOJ files notice of appeal in case where judge effectively froze the Trump documents investigation and imposed a special master to filter material for executive privilege," New York Times correspondent Charlie Savage reported. "DOJ is asking judge to stay the part of her order that halted the investigation and would require showing classified docs to special master, and says will appeal if she doesn't do that."
The filing noted an urgency to investigate what was in the empty folders with classification headers.
"The same is true of the empty folders with ''classified’ banners' that were among the seized materials here," the DOJ argued. "The FBI would be chiefly responsible for investigating what materials may have once been stored in these folders and whether they may have been lost or compromised—steps that, again, may require the use of grand jury subpoenas, search warrants, and other criminal investigative tools and could lead to evidence that would also be highly relevant to advancing the criminal investigation.
