(CNN) A federal judge has granted former President Donald Trump's request to appoint a "special master" to review materials that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago last month.
Cannon ordered that a third-party attorney, from outside the government , be brought in to review the materials that were taken from Trump's home and resort in Florida.
The order also halts the Justice Department from continuing its review of the materials seized from Mar-a-Lago "pending completion of the special master's review or further Court order.".
The classification review and intelligence assessments being conducted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, however, will be allowed to continue.
"This egregious abuse of the law is going to produce a backlash the likes of which nobody has ever seen before," he said.
The DOJ had asked for the review, if it was granted, to focus on materials potentially covered by attorney-client privilege.
But she also had pointed questions for the Trump team about what the review they were seeking would look like. »
