The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to lift a judge's order that temporarily barred it from reviewing a batch of classified documents seized during an FBI search of Donald Trump's Florida home last month.
The department told the 11th Circuit US Court of Appeals in Atlanta that the judge's hold, imposed last week, had impeded the "government's efforts to protect the nation's security" and interfered with its investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago.
