An American judge rejected, yesterday Thursday, allowing the Department of Justice to immediately appeal the review of secret records confiscated by the FBI from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, in a decision favoring the former president.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon also appointed Judge Raymond Dearie, a chief judge of a district court, as a third party to review the documents confiscated by the FBI in search of materials that may be subject to privilege to exclude them from federal investigators.

The Department of Justice promised to refer the case to the Court of Appeals if Cannon ruled against its demand. It also sought to prevent the independent arbitrator, Dearie, from examining nearly 100 classified documents among 11,000 collected during the search of Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago, which was approved by the court on August 8.

Cannon wrote saying: "The court does not see it appropriate to accept the government's conclusions on these important issues in dispute without further review by a neutral third party in a swift and organized manner."
