As we previously reported, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled for President Donald Trump, agreeing to have a special master go through the items seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last month.
The DOJ filed a notice of appeal and also asked to have a partial stay as to the “classified records” that they seized, which they claimed amounted to about 100 documents. They didn’t want the special master assessing those items.
The Trump team is objecting to the DOJ’s motion to not turn over the “classified records” to the special master.
If you just looked at how the media was casting it, you would think it was Trump blocking the review by the special master rather than the DOJ objecting to it.
The DOJ has already looked through the material. But they don’t want the special master to look through it. So hardly a transparent move and The Hill’s take is misleading at best.
The Trump legal team blasted the whole investigation as “out of control” and noted that the government hasn’t even shown that the documents “remain classified.” They’re disputing that they are classified.
In a filing Monday morning, Trump’s legal team said the Justice Department is seeking to “limit the scope of any review of its investigative conduct and presuppose the outcome, at least in regard to what it deems are ‘classified records.’” [….]
“This investigation of the 45th President of the United States is both unprecedented and misguided,” Trump’s lawyers said in the filing. “In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records.”
Trump’s legal team added that the court’s order “is a sensible preliminary step towards restoring order from chaos.”
“The Government should therefore not be permitted to skip the process and proceed straight to a preordained conclusion,” they wrote.
