The Justice Department filed an appeal of a federal judge’s order to release the full Office of Legal Counsel memo supporting former Attorney General William Barr’s decision following the receipt of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report related to whether former President Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice.

A brief filing by the Biden administration, arguing it would suffer “irreparable harm” without a stay, came just before the end of the deadline on Monday to release the nine-page memo in full, set by Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
