A US judge on Thursday named an independent arbiter to sort through thousands of documents seized from Donald Trump's Florida estate and determine if any of them are protected by executive privilege.
This so-called special master will be Raymond Dearie, a federal judge in New York, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled.
Cannon last week issued an injunction that barred the Justice Department from using any of the documents -- including the ones marked classified -- for its investigation while the special master conducted their review. She rejected the Justice Department's argument that her injunction freezing the probe harmed national security.
He has denied all wrongdoing, saying the raid was"one of the most egregious assaults on democracy in the history of our country."
