and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s own use of the records for investigative purposes.
“The Court is mindful that restraints on criminal prosecutions are disfavored, but finds that these unprecedented circumstances call for a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote in her 24-page order. In this case, the seized records “include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” according to the judge's order.
“The major sticking point, I think, is that the executive privilege documents were included” in the judge's decision, said Richard Serafini, a former Justice Department prosecutor and Florida criminal defense lawyer. He said he expected the department to appeal the order.
