The United States Department of Justice can continue to investigate the documents that were … found during a search of former President Donald Trump’s home. He was appointed by a judge on Wednesday.
The FBI found more than 11,000 government documents at Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, in early August. The investigation into the documents was halted after Trump’s lawyers requested it.
A judge previously ruled that the investigation should be postponed. First, an independent referee should review the material.
That referee was appointed last week, former judge Raymond Dearie. He has been empowered to keep documents found away from the government. However, on Wednesday the court ruled that the Ministry of Justice may continue the investigation in the meantime.
Trump’s criminal investigation includes whether confidential documents were withheld and whether an attempt was made to thwart a federal investigation.
