A federal appeals court has acted to shut down an outside review of the DOJ's use of nearly 3,000 documents the FBI seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August

A panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that a district court judge erred both by granting Trump’s request to block investigators’ access to the records and in her decision to appoint a special master to assess Trump’s claims that some of the documents could be protected by executive privilege or other legal doctrines.

The ruling represents another major setback for the former president and a clear victory for the Justice Department. Prosecutors had been using those records as part of a criminal investigation into alleged retention of national security information, theft of government records and obstruction of justice.

This ruling will be appealed to the Supreme Court by Trump. Clarence Thomas oversees the 11th Circuit. He will issue a temporary stay, pending the Court's review. It won't be 'he's interfering to help trump'. It's a process ruling. The Supreme Court will uphold the 11th Circuit.

A weaponized DOJ going after a political opponent of a current president for the purposes of what? Keeping Trump from running in 2024 and to keep the corruption that's been going on within this administration under lock and key. They trying everything to anger Trump supporters.
