Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti was reacting to Trump's legal team arguing with special master's request for evidence of declassification.
Donald Trump made a mistake by requesting Raymond Dearie be appointed special master in the classified documents investigation as the former president's legal team is already refusing to cooperate with the judge's demands, a legal expert has said.
Dearie, who was named by a federal judge to be the independent third party to review the 11,000 documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, had asked the former president to disclose details about any materialsIn court filings on Monday, Trump's attorneys requested that Dearie—one of two picks the former president wanted as special master—drop the, arguing they could be used in a defense against potential criminal charges.
The lawyers also argued that such a request was not a requirement when Judge Aileen Cannon appointed Dearie as special master in the case, and that the deadline for all his other requests be put back to"allow for a more realistic and complete assessment of the areas of disagreement." Former President Donald Trump speaks at a Save America Rally to support Republican candidates running for state and federal offices in the state at the Covelli Centre on September 17, 2022 in Youngstown, Ohio.
