The Department of Justice sought a stay to block part of a federal judge's ruling that halted its ongoing investigation into documents seized at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
The Department of Justice on Friday sought a stay to block parts of a
that halted its ongoing investigation into documents seized at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence."The district court has entered an unprecedented order enjoining the Executive Branch’s use of its own highly classified records in a criminal investigation with direct implications for national security," the department wrote in the Friday evening filing.
DOJ asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to "stay only the portions of the order causing the most serious and immediate harm to the government and the public by restricting the government’s review and use of records bearing classification markings and requiring the government to disclose those records for a special-master review process."The 29-page partial stay request comes a day after U.S.
"The court’s order hamstrings that investigation and places the FBI and Department of Justice under a Damoclean threat of contempt," the department wrote in its filing to the Atlanta-based court of appeals.
