If this isn’t overturned by a higher court. It’s a crazy ruling. The judge claims Trump can assert executive privilege over Biden:

Unbelievable.
There’s no such thing as a special master to review executive privilege, particularly for someone who isn’t an executive anymore.
This will almost certainly be appealed immediately. https://t.co/ihK7GWr7mS

If this holds up, it's going to require the minting of a whole new area of law for the scope and boundaries of a former Pres's executive priv interests. How the hell is a Special Master supposed to call balls and strikes? This could be huge delays. I think DOJ needs to appeal.
