The appeals court formalized its ruling Thursday afternoon.
Former President Donald Trump’s quest for outside supervision of the Justice Department’s investigation into sensitive White House records seized at his Mar-a-Lago estate came to an end Thursday, after he failed to challenge an appeals court ruling rejecting such oversight.
Trump had a week to contest the issue before the full bench of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals or at the Supreme Court, but he did not. The appeals court formalized its ruling Thursday afternoon ending the so-called “special master” process a lower judge established in September.

The whole special master demand was designed to delay and frustrate the DOJ’s review and efforts to locate more stolen documents. Really didn’t work, although defending against this frivolity cost the taxpayers. Not that Trump ever cared about us peasant taxpayers anyway.
Now I would like to see Trump arrested for stealing those documents in the first place. But I doubt that will happen.
