The Justice Department said Thursday it will appeal a federal judge’s decision to appoint a “special master” to review whether the FBI properly seized documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The appeal comes after U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the Justice Department to halt its review of thousands of classified documents recovered by agents executing a search warrant at Trump’s home on August 8. Many of the documents were marked “Top Secret.” Judge Cannon was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in 2020 by then-President Donald Trump. Her ruling this week led to widespread calls for her impeachment. Slate magazine legal writer Mark Joseph Stern tweeted, “The problem, of course, is that Cannon is not a real judge, but a Trump judge, and one of the most corrupt of the bunch.”
