View on RumbleOn Monday, US District Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump’s legal team’s request that a special master be appointed to review documents taken, and blocked the Justice Department from temporarily using the documents for investigative purposes.
According to the Associated Press, the two sides were scheduled to submit the proposed names of a special master by Friday.
Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was raided by FBI agents on August 8, with agents taking dozens of boxes of materials from the residence, some of which reportedly had various classified labels on them. Trump has stated that these documents were declassified by himself during his presidency, a power which he had.
Later in the month, a heavily redacted affidavit was released, revealing the general contents that were removed from the premises, as well as the reasoning behind the raid.
