Former President Donald Trump filed a motion Monday demanding federal investigators stop going through material seized from his Mar-a-Lago mansion until a special master could be appointed to review the evidence, the NY Post reports.
The 27-page filing in Florida federal court, also asked for the federal government to provide more detail about what was seized in the Aug. 8 raid on the 45th president’s Palm Beach estate and demands the government return any item not covered by the search warrant.
Trump’s filing also asked the federal investigators to detail what was taken and return anything unrelated. The motion was filed hours after US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart formally denied the Justice Department’s motion to keep the affidavit underpinning the search to be completely sealed.
