The Justice Department is appealing the full release of a 2019 memo on the Mueller report.
Then-AG Bill Barr cited the memo among his grounds to not charge Trump with obstruction of justice.
A federal judge recently ordered the release of the document, saying Barr was misleading.
The Justice Department on Monday appealed a federal court ruling ordering it to release in its entirety a 2019 memo that Attorney General Bill Barr used as grounds to clear then President Donald Trump of obstruction of justice. The appeal was filed late Monday night and came after the department released parts of the memo, though most of it remains heavily redacted.

Then-President Donald Trump was on the edge of ousting FBI Director Christopher Wray to install people he considered to be loyal to him in April 2020, according to Politico.
The former president had “always flirted with the idea” of firing Wray, one ex-Trump official told Politico, which buttresses multiplereports of Trump mulling the FBI director’s ouster for contradicting MAGAland’s bogus “deep state” and voter fraud conspiracy theories.
