A federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's legal motion regarding the Mar-a-Lago raid demanded clarity Tuesday as to what the former president wants.
Trump unveiled a lawsuit Monday seeking to block the Justice Department from reviewing seized documents, but Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump to the post, expressed confusion over what Trump's legal team is seeking and gave them until Friday to answer five questions about his motion.Cannon is overseeing his case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
In her order, which came the day after Trump's lawyers filed the motion, Cannon stressed she needs answers to those questions to"facilitate appropriate resolution." In the 27-page filing issued Monday, Trump's lawyers requested the court appoint a special master to examine the evidence the FBI collected during the Aug. 8 search and seizure at the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. They demanded the DOJ halt any review of the documents until a special master is appointed.During the August raid, federal authorities reportedly recovered 26 boxes that included documents with classified markings.
