A Florida federal judge indicated she was inclined to appoint a special master to review some of the documents the FBI seized earlier this month from Donald Trump’s Florida home as part of a national security-related criminal investigation.
Julia Nikhinson / APA Florida federal judge Saturday indicated she was inclined to appoint a special master to review some of the documents the FBI seized earlier this month from former President Donald Trump’s Florida home as part of a national security-related criminal investigation.
If Cannon grants Trump's request, the special master would be in charge of reviewing documents for issues of privilege — not the highly sensitive records at the heart of the government's investigation. Trump's legal filing also sought protection for documents covered by executive privilege that applies to presidents, but since he's no longer in the White House, that legal protection does not automatically apply to these records.
