The judge handling the case of the seized documents from the Mar-a-Lago raid has finally appointed a special master.

Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, also denied a Department of Justice request to lift the stay on the documents it wanted access to, CNN reported.

The special master will be Senior Judge Raymond Dearie, who was put forward as a possible candidate for the special master role by Trump, who had sued in court to obtain the review. The Justice Department also endorsed Dearie’s appointment.
