A federal judge on Monday granted in part former US President Donald Trump's request to appoint a special master to review documents the FBI seized from his Florida home in August, a court filing showed.
A judge has ordered Donald Trump can appoint a special master to review records seized during an operation at his Florida home.He is under investigation for allegedly removing government records from the White House after he left office.
Cannon's order permits US intelligence officials to continue a national security damage review in the probe. The Justice Department has also said it is investigating possible obstruction, after the FBI uncovered evidence that Trump's team may have deliberately concealed classified documents when agents tried to recover them in June.
But Trump's request was unique. Not only did his team want the special master to review traditional attorney-client privileged material, but they also told Cannon the special master was appropriate because some of the records could be subject to executive privilege - a legal doctrine that shields some White House communications.
The Justice Department also said it made no sense to appoint a special master because its filter team - a group of agents who are not part of the investigation - had completed its work.
