A US judge on Monday granted Donald Trump's request for the appointment of a"special master" to independently review material seized in an FBI raid on his Florida home, dealing a blow to prosecutors.Government attorneys had opposed Trump's request, arguing that the appointment of a special master to screen for privileged material could harm national security, and was also unnecessary as a team had already completed a screening.
The ruling -- which temporarily blocks the government from reviewing or using materials seized in the raid -- made an exception for"intelligence classification and national security assessments." Trump is facing mounting legal pressure, with the Justice Department saying top secret documents were "likely concealed" to obstruct an FBI probe into Trump's potential mishandling of classified materials.
After prompting from the FBI, Trump's lawyer eventually turned over an additional 38 classified documents -- and provide"sworn certification" that they represented the last of the material. Attorney General Merrick Garland said he personally approved the Mar-a-Lago raid, and the decision on whether Trump is charged with a crime ultimately rests with him.
