The special master tasked with reviewing thousands of documents seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence called out Trump's lawyers for failing to provide evidence of his privilege claims.
Longtime federal Judge Raymond Dearie complained during a phone conference on Tuesday that a log of documents Trump is seeking to withhold from the Justice Department lacks information to determine whether his privilege claims are valid. He asked Trump's lawyers to explain why Trump believes the documents should be shielded from the Justice Department's criminal investigation, according to The New York Times. The call focused on a small set of documents that the Justice Department has already reviewed for potentially privileged information and set aside.
