Appeals Court Halts Special Master Review of Trump Mar-a-Lago Documents
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In a major blow for former President Trump, a federal appeals court
halted the review by a special master of documents seized from his
Mar-a-Lago estate. The Justice Department will be able to fully resume
its investigation into Trump's mishandling of classified materials. The
three-judge court panel said, "We cannot write a rule that allows any
subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the
execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only
former presidents to do so."
