The judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago documents case against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday allowed two pro-Trump legal groups to file pretrial briefs as amici curiae, or friends of the court.

The terse, paperless order by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon grants leave to file to the America First Legal Foundation (AFL), headed by former Trump White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.

Also allowed to says its piece in the case is Citizens United, the group known for its successful evisceration of federal campaign finance law before the U.S. Supreme Court. Leading the second filing is former U.S. attorney general Edwin Meese, who served under Ronald Reagan.
