The Wall Street Journal: Justice Department wants its appeal in Trump documents case to be fast tracked

United States

The Justice Department is seeking to fast-track its appeal of a ruling that delayed its investigation into documents seized at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, making clear that prosecutors aren’t done challenging U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s handling of the case.

In a motion filed on Friday evening, the Justice Department asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to set an expedited schedule in the appeal.
