Judge Cannon Slaps Down Special Master Dearie’s Order in Trump Mar-a-Lago Documents Case

 Retired Judge Raymond Dearie, the court-appointed Special Master in former President Donald Trump's 'classified' documents case, has been reprimanded for his demand that Donald Trump produce evidence that the Department of Justice 'planted evidence' in the siege at Mar-a-Lago.

  • "There shall be no separate requirement on Plaintiff at this stage, prior to the review of any of the Seized Materials, to lodge ex ante final objections to the accuracy of Defendant's Inventory, its descriptions, or its contents," Judge Aileen Cannon wrote on Thursday.

Judge Cannon's order made it clear that no determination about the allegedly classified documents would be made until well after the 2022 midterm elections.

  • In light of delays in securing an appropriate vendor to scan and make available the Seized Materials to Plaintiff and the Special Master, and recognizing the more precise quantification of the implicated pages of material [ECF No. 123 p. 1 (describing that the 11,000 documents approximate 200,000 pages of materials)], the Court hereby extends the end date for completion of the Special Masters review and classifications from the prior date of November 30, 2022 to December 16, 2022.
