TRUMP BALKS AT REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED RULING

Donald Trump on Monday objected to a Justice Department request for an expedited ruling in the special master case involving documents seized by the FBI in an August search of the former president's Florida home. “The government has not and cannot possibly articulate any real risk of loss or harm resulting from a more deliberative process,” Trump's lawyers said in a filing in the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S. Justice Department on Friday moved to expedite its appeal of an order appointing a special master to review records the FBI seized from Trump's Florida estate, saying its inability to access the non-classified documents is hampering significant aspects of its investigation on the retention of government records at Trump's Mar-aLago estate.
