The details of the appeal are unclear, so we'll see if this is an appeal of the entire order, a portion, or if there are other nuances.
MORE: DOJ has asked Judge Cannon to stay parts of her order, saying the national secyrity review is inextricably linked tot he criminal investigation and can't be seaprated. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
MORE: DOJ also says it's urgent that the FBI be permitted to help investigate the empty folders with classification markings to determine what they once held and whether their contents "may have been lost or compromised." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
NEWS: The Justice Department is moving to block Judge CANNON's order, warning of significant national security risks caused by her effort to block the FBI criminal review of the seized documents.
IMPORTANT: ODNI has actually paused its national security risk assessment, citing "uncertainty regarding the bounds of
the Court’s order and its implications for the activities of the FBI." politico.com/news/2022/09/0…
MORE: DOJ says Cannon's analysis essentially conceded that "no potential assertion of executive privilege by Plaintiff could justify preventing the Executive Branch from conducting that review and assessment of the classified records."
DOJ is now moving for Cannon to unseal more details about its filter review process for attorney-client privilege, saying Trump's lawyers are making blanket objections that should be rejected.
DOJ says the filter review process was, by design, "overly inclusive."
MEANWHILE: Over on Truth Social, Trump rails against the DOJ appeal, praising Cannon as "a brilliant and courageous Judge whose words of wisdom rang true throughout our Nation."
UPDATE: Judge Cannon has issued an order asking the parties to consider, in Friday’s filings, DOJ’s views about the 100 classified documents retrieved from Mar-aLago

The sentencing memo by Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White noted that Taylor Taranto, pardoned by Trump but facing sentencing for other crimes, spread "conspiracy theories" about the attack. It also noted that Taranto stalked Barack Obama's neighborhood after Trump posted (and Taranto reposted) his address on Truth Social. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…
UPDATE: The original sentencing memo has been removed from the court docket, an unusual maneuver as new prosecutors take over the case. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…
BREAKING: Judge Immergut has called a 10PM (ET) hearing on Trump's effort to circumvent her National Guard order by calling up California troops.
NEW: Judge Immergut could quickly halt Trump's deployment of CA guard troops to Portland, a workaround that tested her warning that Trump's initial callup was illegal and based on false claims about the unrest facing ICE.
@joshgerstein @jonesblakej UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." politico.com/news/2025/10/0…
Judge IMMERGUT, a Trump appointee to the bench, ruled that Trump's call-up was based on false claims about unrest in Portland and that Trump's own statements were "simply untethered to the facts." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.
Trump now going after the rank-and-file FBI agents who responded to help restore order to an overrun Capitol on Jan. 6 — falsely accusing them based on inaccurate/misleading reports yesterday of being agitators in the crowd.
The reporting Trump claims supports this allegation … simply doesn’t.
NEW: Trump falsely suggested today that rank-and-file FBI agents fomented the Jan. 6 attack that a mob of his supporters unleashed on the Capitol, leaning into conspiracy theories as he accuses a second FBI director of committing crimes.
Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy — seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond — is illegal.
Judge Boulware found that another man — who does have a criminal history of driving infractions and a DUI — nevertheless should receive a bond hearing rather than mandatory detention, in part because of some extreme factors in his case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…
Trump reposted the message makes explicit he's referring to Lindsey Halligan, his onetime personal lawyer who now works in the WH. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…
Most logical read of this: Trump wants Pam Bondi to name Lindsey Halligan interim U.S. attorney in EDVA so she can charge Letitia James, which he says is a "great case" and that the delay in charging her is hurting his reputation.
