Ex-President Donald Trump didn’t bother appealing the ruling that put an end to a special master’s review of material seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago.

The appeals court’s ruling officially took effect on Thursday with no sign of an appeal from Trump’s team.

Prosecutors opposed it, saying their filter team had already weeded out privileged material and returned it to Trump.
