A federal judge on Monday handed Donald Trump a significant win, ordering a special master to review evidence seized by the FBI during its raid of the former president's Florida estate last month, and halted the Justice Department's review of the materials seized from Mar-a-Lago "pending completion of the special master's review."
Trump asked for the special master
- Claimed documents seized from him were covered by attorney client privilege and executive privilege
- A special master is typically a lawyer from outside the government who makes independent judgments on whether evidence has been properly seized
- Overcollected evidence including passports, attorney-client privilege records, and even clothing
