Judge orders independent review of seized documents

It’s a victory for Donald Trump, at least temporarily. A Florida judge on Monday approved the appointment of an independent expert to review documents seized in early August by the FBI from the Florida home of the former US president. This “special master” will be responsible in particular for discarding any document covered by the lawyer-client relationship. The Ministry of Justice should appeal this decision.

Judge Aileen Cannon acceded to the request of the former US president with this ruling, which temporarily bars investigators from examining documents seized from the Mar-a-Lago residence, some of which the Justice Department suspects are classified “Top Secret”.
