DOJ Moves to Purge Trump's Special Master From Mar-a-Lago Investigation
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
The Department of Justice clinched its legal win at the
Supreme Court, which refused to intervene in the case involving the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s raid on Mar-a-Lago this past summer.
Trump and his legal team are on their own. The Justice Department’s
access to the files that were seized during the raid that reportedly
contained classified information was restored by the 11th
Circuit Court of Appeals. The special master appointed by Judge Aileen
Cannon is also barred from reviewing some 100 documents since that could
inflict irreparable damage to the government. It’s hogwash, but the
courts have expanded the search power of the DOJ to near-universal
limits post-9/11. Now, the Justice Department is moving to appeal the
special master ruling and toss the Trump legal team’s challenger
altogether. NBC News added that the DOJ’s case is that Trump’s lawyers
have not provided any evidence that the documents were illegally
confiscated or that the former president has any need for their return
