Department full access to tens of thousands of records and

The Justice Department is investigating whether three
criminal statutes were violated by Trump in bringing
sensitive government documents to Mar-a-Lago.
In recent weeks, the federal grand jury
overseeing the investigation heard
testimony from Trump aides.
CNN reports that special counsel
Jack Smith has recently taken
control of the investigation.
Trump's attempt to obtain a special master review
has reportedly slowed down the investigation and
impeded prosecutors' ability to question witnesses.
According to Trump, some of the documents obtained by the FBI
were covered by attorney-client privelage, executive privilege
or were otherwise outside the bounds of the probe.
The Justice Department argued that
a third-party, special master review was
unnecessary and would impede their investigation. .
Earlier in the litigation, the Justice Department was granted
permission to use documents marked as classified that
were seized in the search as part of its investigation

to remove Omar from the committee on Jan. 2.
Republicans had previously vowed to go through with the removal because of alleged antisemitic and anti-American comments Omar had previously made.
Representative Omar, by her own words,
has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that
is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security, Foreign Affairs Committee, via four-page resolution.

the GOP of racism and hypocrisy, claiming they are only targeting "Democrats for questionable behavior.".

and dismissed Republican claims of consistency regarding the representative's dismissal.
Consistency? There is nothing consistent with the Republican Party’s continued attack, except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body. , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, via statement.

her religious practices? , Rep. Gregory Meeks, via statement.
