U.S. Department of Justice appeals injunction in favor of Trump blocking review of confidential documents found at his home
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a partial appeal against a court decision to stop reviewing documents seized from former U.S. President Donald Trump's Florida residence.
It also called on the Ministry to continue to investigate such material classified as confidential.
Federal investigators have been barred since last week from reviewing thousands of documents seized by the FBI from Trump's seaside home ,after a judge made the decision to appoint an impartial supervisor to review the files while sitting in the former president's seat.
In a complaint filed on Friday evening
the Justice Department said Judge Aileen Cannon "fundamentally misstated the appointment of a special supervisor and the issuance of an injunction,"but made clear that she would limit her appeal to just a hundred or so sensitive documents discovered at Trump's house.
The Ministry stated that the delay in reviewing confidential documents stressing that they were government property "impedes the Government's efforts to protect the security of the nation."
