Mar-a-Lago special master case goes before appeals court

The Justice Department has asked the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit to end the review process, saying the appointment of a so-called special master has unnecessarily delayed its investigation into the presence of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Lawyers for Trump want the special master's work to continue. Both sides will argue Tuesday before the appeals court.
