ALERT:

US Justice Dept WILL appeal the "special master" ruling in Florida federal court in Mar-a-lago investigation

They've just filed formal motion in court

Appeal will be made to 11th Circuit Court of Appeals

No detail about the nature of the appeal

Here's the filing: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

And .. Justice Dept asks court to "stay" Judge Cannon's ruling pending the appeal

Justice Dept: Judge Aileen Cannon's "order would irreparably harm the government and the public by
unnecessarily requiring the government to share highly classified materials with a special master"

Justice Dept court filing (more): "Without a stay, the government and public also will suffer irreparable harm from the undue delay to the criminal investigation. The public has an “interest in the fair and expeditious
administration of the criminal laws.”

Justice Dept filing (more): "The classified records do not contain personal information or communications protected by a personal attorney-client privilege, and any delay poses significant concerns in the context of an investigation into the mishandling of
classified records"

In arguing to allow FBI investigation to continue of seized records from Mar-a-lago, Justice Dept says "FBI would be chiefly responsible for investigating what
materials may have once been stored in these folders and whether they may have been lost or
compromised"
