The Justice Department is appealing Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to appoint a special master to review classified documents seized during the search of Donald Trump’s Palm Beach residence. The former president’s legal woes continue to intensify as the Washington, D.C., grand jury tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and efforts to subvert the 2020 election expanded its efforts to subpoena information about his political action committee, Save America. Meanwhile, key Trump ally and far-right agitator Steve Bannon has surrendered to New York state prosecutors as he faces a new criminal charge. The case is believed to be related to allegations of fraud stemming from a fundraising entity, We Build The Wall. The former president pardoned him when he faced federal charges in the matter, but he now had power over prosecutions at the state level. Mr Trump stopped short of a rant on Truth Social about the “bland and lowly” at the Lincoln Project to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II who died on Thursday afternoon. The former president also hailed the new monarch, King Charles III, in a post declaring he would be a “Great and Wonderful King” and “an inspiration to all”.
