A federal judge has told the Justice Department to provide her with more specific information about the classified records removed from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate.
Cannon also directed the Justice Department to file under seal with her more detailed descriptions of the material taken from Trump’s property. The former president’s lawyers have complained that investigators did not disclose enough information to them about what specific documents were removed when agents executed a search warrant on Aug. 8 to look for classified documents.
The special master appointment, if it happens, is unlikely to significantly affect the direction of the Justice Department investigation, though it’s possible an outside review of the documents could slow the probe down. Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions under oath during a deposition Wednesday for a New York civil investigation into his business dealings. Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Bernanda Villalona explains what that means for the investigation and for Trump’s future in politics.
