    "U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon appointed a respected retired judge to independently review the documents the FBI seized from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, and included those marked classified in his remit, which could prolong a court battle over the Justice Department inquiry into the sensitive materials found at the Florida resort."

    "When Florida-based Judge Cannon ordered the appointment of an independent arbiter last week and asked both sides to suggest candidates, she also temporarily blocked criminal investigators from using the materials, describing it as “a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards.”"

    Good decision. I don't think anybody apart from the most rabid Biden backers on here was seriosuly suggesting that the DoJ alone could decide what was classified and what wasn't. That's not how the system is meant to operate and thankfully not how it will operate.

    "The Court does not find it appropriate to accept the Government’s conclusions on these important and disputed issues without further review by a neutral third party in an expedited and orderly fashion,” the judge wrote."

    The process proceeds.
