Former President Donald Trump does not have to submit a declaration on whether the Justice Department planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago before his legal team reviews the stash, a judge ruled in a victory for his legal team.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon overruled the special master she appointed, who sought a sworn document from Trump's legal team on whether the DOJ planted evidence. She also pushed back key deadlines for the third-party special master review of material seized.
U.S. District Senior Judge Raymond Dearie, the special master in the case, previously directed Trump's legal team to identify materials that"were not seized from the premises on August 8, 2022." Ironically, Dearie, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan, was one of two candidates Trump's legal team suggested as a special master. Cannon, whom Trump appointed to the bench, approved Trump's request for a special master over the DOJ's objections. Dearie and Trump's legal team have butted heads on multiple occasions over recent days.
Trump's lawyers sought a special master, a third-party reviewer, to ensure FBI agents did not scoop up privileged material, such as communications with lawyers, during the August raid. The DOJ has previously admitted that its"Privilege Review Team" has found a “limited set” of materials, which may include privileged material, in the confiscated document stash.
