Judge Aileen Cannon's order effectively froze the government's ability to use the contents of the seized records, including classified documents, as part of its criminal investigation.
The Justice Department has filed a motion Friday evening with the 11th Circuit Court of appeals for a partial stay pending appeal of Judge Aileen Cannon's order requiring a special master to review items seized at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Cannon's order effectively froze the government's ability to use the contents of the seized records, including classified documents, as part of its criminal investigation. The Justice Department is asking the appeals court to issue a partial stay of Cannon's order to permit it to continue to work with those classified records and not disclose them for a special-master review process.
The Department of Justice also notes in its motion that the plaintiff, Trump, "has never even attempted to make or substantiate any assertion of executive privilege."
