PORTLAND, Maine (AP) The Trump administration is complying with a court order to turn over documents from the voting integrity commission to Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap.

A spokeswoman for Dunlap said the U.S. Department of Justice sent out the materials on Wednesday, the deadline set by a federal judge. The spokeswoman said Dunlap’s lawyers will review the documents before any of the materials are publicly released.

The judge last month rejected the administration’s contention that Dunlap, a Democrat, is no longer entitled to documents because the panel was disbanded.
