Special master grills Trump's lawyers for evidence that Mar-a-Lago records were declassified: 'You can't have your cake and eat it'

Judge Raymond Dearie grilled Trump's lawyers about the classification status of Mar-a-Lago records.
Dearie was appointed "special master" at the request of Trump's team.
"You can't have your cake and eat it," Dearie said after Trump's lawyers resisted confirming Trump's claim that the records had been declassified.
A court-appointed "special master" on Tuesday chided Donald Trump's legal team for wanting to "have your cake and eat it" after Trump's lawyers refused to provide evidence that Trump had declassified all the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
Ahead of Tuesday's hearing, Dearie had pressed the former president's lawyers to confirm his claim that the records were declassified. Trump's team resisted the request, however, saying that turning over that information would force Trump to "fully and specifically disclose a defense" that he might try to mount in the event of a "subsequent indictment."
But Dearie didn't appear to buy that argument, saying Tuesday that if the former president's attorneys didn't give him evidence of declassification, he would side with the feds.
"As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of it," he said, later adding: "You can't have your cake and eat it."

Appeals court lifts hold on records found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home

A federal appeals court on Wednesday granted a significant win to the Justice Department in its investigation of highly sensitive documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, issuing a partial stay on a lower court’s ruling that froze key aspects of the case.
The three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously stayed the portion of a much-criticized prior ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, that had prevented the government from scrutinizing the material gathered at Trump’s Florida residence and country club pending review from an independent special master.
“We decide only the narrow question presented: whether the United States has established that it is entitled to a stay of the district court’s order, to the extent that it (1) requires the government to submit for the special master's review the documents with classification markings and (2) enjoins the United States from using that subset of documents in a criminal investigation. We conclude that it has.”
The ruling was a rebuke to the claims made by Trump’s legal team about the former president’s supposed right to hold on to classified documents, some of which had confidential, secret and top secret markings.
“[Trump] has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents,” the panel ruled. “Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents.”
Two of the appeals judges who issued the ruling, Andrew Brasher and Britt Grant, were appointed by Trump. Robin Rosenbaum, the third, was an appointee of President Barack Obama.
