NEW: Intelligence community resumes damage assessment on Mar-a-Lago documents
The assessment, led by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, had been paused by the intelligence community following a district court ruling that the special master appointed in the case would have the ability to review the allegedly classified records.
“In consultation with the Department of Justice, ODNI is resuming the classification review of relevant materials and assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents,” a spokesperson for ODNI told the Washington Examiner. She had stressed that her ruling “shall not impede the classification review and/or intelligence assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence” related to the records seized in the raid.
The Justice Department, which quickly appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, had claimed that pausing the FBI’s criminal investigation while separately continuing the intelligence community’s damage assessment was a nearly impossible task and that a pause could hurt national security.
