Donald Trump has suffered a major loss in relation to the Mar-a-Lago investigation

Donald Trump is suffering a major defeat after an appeals court blocked a third party review of documents seized from his estate.

It essentially removes a major barrier to the DOJ’s investigation into Trump’s mishandling of government records.

The documents were taken from the White House to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

The court reversed a previous order appointing a special master to sort through the documents, which would have determined what investigations were unable to touch.

In a statement, the appeals court said “we cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations”.
