“The Justice Department faces partly conflicting goals as it weighs how to proceed in its inquiry into the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago following a legal ruling on Monday,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“A federal judge in Florida ordered the appointment of a special master to review documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Florida resort and temporarily blocked the government from using the materials for a criminal investigation.”
“Prosecutors could appeal the order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon—both to prevent it from serving as a basis for precedent and to try to have it overturned so the investigation can continue, but that potentially risks a long legal battle. Or they could acquiesce to the order in hope that a special master could swiftly review the core documents at issue, which could get the investigation moving again sooner.”
