The FBI agents who conducted the search at Mar-a-Lago needed special clearance to view the documents found there, the Department of Justice (DoJ) has said.
The top law enforcement agency made the revelation in a 36-page court filing on Tuesday as they responded to former President Donald Trump’s request to have a third-party individual, a so-called “special master”, review the documents gathered from his south Florida private club and residence on 8 August.
