Attorneys for former President Donald Trump argued Monday against any pause in a Florida judge’s order for a special master to review documents seized in an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago last month.
In a filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Trump made broad claims about his powers after the presidency in the case, which he filed amid a criminal investigation into documents marked as classified found during a search of his Florida residence.
Trump responded to the Justice Department’s effort last week to lift a preliminary injunction that orders a halt to the use of those documents in the criminal probe. And Trump urged Judge Aileen Cannon to keep in place the order subjecting those documents to special master review.
