The ruling is a win for the US justice department, which is probing Mr Trump over classified documents.

Donald Trump requested that a "special master" be appointed to review the documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago home

The "special master" is an independent lawyer who decides if any of the records are covered under attorney-client or executive privilege.The ruling was made on Thursday by a three-judge panel in the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Us Courts of Appeal, after the Department of Justice challenged a September decision that granted Mr Trump's request for the special master review.

A special master review would have delayed the Department of Justice's inquiry into Mr Trump's handling of classified documents, as the government was banned from reviewing or using the materials until it was complete. The FBI seized 15 boxes of White House documents in January, which officials said contained "highly classified reports", some of which were "intermixed with other records" and contained Mr Trump's "handwritten notes". They also seized another 20 boxes in August.
