Judge Halts FBI Use Of Mar-a-Lago Raid Docs, Appoints Special Master To Review

Background

  • A federal judge on Monday granted former President Trump's request for a third-party expert to review materials seized by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago residence.
  • US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, said in a Sunday ruling released on Monday that a so-called special master would review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege, and make recommendations regarding the investigative value of materials.

A Special Master

  • The special master could divide these documents in classified material, unclassified but defense information, and unclassified material outside of the scope of the alleged crimes.
  • That accounting could also offer basic descriptive information on the material without revealing their precise content or titles.

The release of the redacted affidavit shows that what Garland and his Department told the public was untrue

  • After opposing the release of even a single line, the government released whole pages that were manifestly suitable for public disclosure
  • This is yet another example of how Attorney General Garland has done little to earn the trust of almost half of the country
