Read previewSpecial counsel Jack Smith and lawyers for Donald Trump are fighting over a proposed gag order that would prevent the former president from claiming the FBI plotted to assassinate him during their August 2022 raid on Mar-A-Lago. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. "Judge Cannon has issued — or not issued — some very bizarre orders, but given that Judge Cannon has seemingly sided with Trump at every possible turn, I wouldn't be surprised if she did not issue this order." Representatives for Smith's office and lawyers for Trump did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

The appeals court also said it would agree to reverse a portion of the lower court's order that required the government to hand over records with classification markings for the special master's review. A Justice Department spokesperson did not have an immediate comment. Cannon, a Trump appointee herself, appointed Dearie to serve as special master in the case at Trump's request, despite the Justice Department's objections about a special master. While it voiced disagreement, however, the Justice Department did not appeal that portion of Cannon's order. It is not clear if prosecutors may separately seek to appeal other parts of Cannon's ruling on the special master appointment.

A federal appeals court granted the DOJ's request to resume a review of classified materials seized from Mar-a-Lago. The ruling overturned Judge Aileen Cannon's decision that paused the review until a special master review. The decision appeared to embrace the DOJ's claims that a further delay in the review would hurt national security. "It is self-evident that the public has a strong interest in ensuring that the storage of the classified records did not result in 'exceptionally grave damage to the national security,'" the 11th Circuit judges wrote. The 11th Circuit panel included two Trump appointees — Judges Andrew Brasher and Britt Grant — along with Judge Robin Rosenbaum, an Obama appointee.

Trump claimed that he could instantly declassify documents during his time in office. Trump said that, as president, he could get documents classified just by thinking about it. I declassified everything," Trump claimed, adding that he believed the National Archives and Records Administration was run by a "radical left group." While sitting presidents can declassify documents, there is a process to get these documents declassified that involves proper documentation. This refusal to provide evidence earned a solid rebuke from Dearie, who told Trump's lawyers that they cannot "have your cake and eat it."

Trump's lawyers, however, have stopped short of stating in court that he declassified the documents, though they have not conceded that they are classified. Trump's lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Dearie pressed Trump's lawyers to make clear whether they plan to assert that the records had been declassified as Trump claims. Trump's lawyers proposed Dearie to serve as special master. Dearie on Thursday asked trump's lawyers to provide any evidence backing this up.

A Justice Department spokesperson did not have an immediate comment. Cannon, a Trump appointee herself, appointed Dearie to serve as special master in the case at Trump's request. The Justice Department had objected to the appointment of a special master. As one of his defenses, Trump has claimed on social media posts without evidence that he declassified the records. While it voiced disagreement, however, the Justice Department did not appeal that portion of Cannon's order.

Dearie is asking that Trump's team hand over specific information regarding whether files were declassified or not. In a September 19 filing, Trump's team appealed Dearie's request in order to avoid revealing details about the top-secret materials. Dearie has until November 30 to finish reviewing the documents seized by the FBI. He was appointed, upon Trump's request, as a third-party neutral investigator in Trump's legal tussle with the FBI over documents seized in the agency's raid of Mar-a-Lago.
