In a court filing on Wednesday, Trump's lawyers again urged for the appointment of a Special Master.

"unprecedented, unnecessary, and legally unsupported" and accused prosecutors of mischaracterizing instances in the investigation. that his attempt to appoint the special master"fails for multiple, independent reasons" and has no standing in federal court.

"The notion that Presidential records would contain sensitive information should have never been cause for alarm," Trump's team countered Wednesday, and said those records were subject to negotiation with the National Archives. For their part, the National Archives has released numerous letters to the public indicating their apparent willingness to work with the former president's team to recover the records.

Trump's team called the Justice Department's review of the potentially privileged material into question, accusing them of trying"to avoid judicial oversight." Trump's team misled the Justice Department, according to government lawyers, when they told investigators on June 3 that all classified material had been removed from the former president's residence after a"diligent" search of the property.

Responding to Cannon's notice, prosecutors also revealed in their explosive Tuesday filing a photo of some of what they say were the classified records seized during the Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago. Some of the records recovered from a container in Trump's office as depicted in the FBI photo included cover sheets for classified information with the markings"SECRET//SCI" and"TOP SECRET//SCI.

Investigators are probing Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents, specifically records that he took from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence when he left office in January 2021, as well as possible obstruction of the investigation.
