The Justice Department is asking an appellate court to stay a judge's order barring use in probe of some documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.
a Florida federal judge's order banning the government from using some of the documents it seized from former President Donald Trump's residence while an independent third party reviews the documents.
Further, the Justice Department wrote,"The records bearing classification markings are not subject to any plausible claim of privilege that would prevent the government from reviewing and using them." Its argument is, in essence, that records that are marked classified could not be subject to personal privilege claims by Trump.
"Although the government believes the district court fundamentally erred in appointing a special master and granting injunctive relief, the government seeks 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 Justice Department said.
