Over the weekend, a federal appeals court paused proceedings in the case involving President-elect Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.It's part of a flurry of filings and rulings as prosecutors and judges adjust to the legal reality that Trump will soon be president — and that when he takes office he may be effectively outside the reach of federal and even state prosecutors.
Department of Justice has a longstanding policy not to prosecute presidents while they are in office.
