Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have urged the court to restrain the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from reviewing documents recovered from Trump’s residence in Florida earlier this month until it is necessary to investigate them.
Over 300 classified documents recovered from Donald Trump’s Florida home
FBI has claimed to have recovered confidential documents from the Mar-a-Lago residence of Trump. Trump’s legal team has filed an application for the first time since this action. The application has been filed at a time when the government has recovered more than 300 confidential documents from Mar-a-Lago since Trump left office, the New York Times reported. In fact, the ‘Special Master’ will be tasked with inspecting the documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago and isolating those who are privileged.
Under these privileges, the presidents get the right to hide certain information from the public. In some of the earlier high-profile cases, this role has been played by a former judge. A ‘special master’ is generally a subordinate officer appointed by a judge to ensure that judicial orders are actually obeyed. He can hear evidence on behalf of the judge and can also make recommendations to the judge for the disposal of any case. Trump’s lawyers argued Monday that the former president should be given more detail of the documents recovered from his home, alleging that the FBI and the Justice Department have been treating him “wrongly” for a long time.
“Law enforcement agencies are a shield that protects America. They cannot be used as weapons for the fulfillment of political purposes.” At the same time, Trump said in a separate statement, “All the documents have already been made public.” Although he supported this claim. The Justice Department responded by saying that the raid was allowed by a federal judge because the FBI had given probable cause in support of the crime.
