this ruling by the 11th circuit court of appeals. anderson, this is exactly what the justice department has been fighting for weeks. they tried to get this result in the district court from judge eileen canon. they didn t get it. now they ve had the victory from the 11th circuit. notably this is from a panel of two judges, two of them trump appointees, one obama appointee. and what the 11th circuit is saying tonight the justice department can go back to using the classified documents they d been restricted from using in their ongoing criminal probe into these classified documents that were seized from mar-a-lago last month. and the appeals court is saying here they re really agreeing with the justice department saying that, yes, in fact national security could be harmed if the justice department can t continue its probe here. they said that, you know, the doj has argued it s a criminal investigation, and the national security assessment is inextricably linked. the appeals c
