A federal judge granted a request by former President Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI.
A federal judge on Monday granted a request by former President Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI during aThe decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents.
Even so, it is not clear that the decision will have a significant effect on any investigative or charging decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe. A separate assessment by the U.S. intelligence community of the risk posed by the apparent mishandling of classified records will continue under the judge’s order.
The department and Trump’s lawyers are to submit by Friday a list of proposed special master candidates. In this case, the seized records “include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” according to the judge’s order.
