Biden's DOJ appeals order to release Russia memo in full which cleared Trump of obstruction but does agree to make a portion of it public
The Biden administration appealed a judge's order directing it to release in its entirety a legal memo on whether Trump had obstructed Russia investigation
However it also agreed to make a brief portion of the document public
In its motion Monday, Justice Department lawyers said the government never meant to mislead the court
However it acknowledged that some of its language could have been clearer
It appears the decision was made to avoid setting a new precedent where more sensitive documents would have to be released in the future
