Former President Donald Trump's efforts to hamstring the FBI investigation into the classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate have officially come to an end. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday complied with the order handed down by a federal appellate court and dismissed his lawsuit seeking a special master in the case.
Cannon appointed a special master to review the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago three months ago, drawing criticism from legal experts who argued she was intervening in a criminal probe and aiding Trump's attempt to slow down a potential criminal indictment ahead of his 2024 presidential bid.
