Judge officially ends Trump lawsuit over Mar-a-Lago search – By Michael Macagnone (Roll Call) / Dec 12, 2022
Trump did not appeal an appeals court ruling over the FBI seizure of government documents marked as classified
A Florida federal judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit Monday over the FBI search for classified government documents at his private club, Mar-a-Lago.
Trump had launched the legal challenge to stop the federal criminal investigation into his possession of sensitive government documents after the end of his presidency.
The president briefly succeeded before a district court judge he appointed to the bench, but an appeals court this month ordered the case dismissed and found the judge had overstepped her bounds.
The former president did not appeal that ruling, effectively ending the first major legal battle over the highly charged criminal investigation into the former president.
