Federal court at least partially accepts the ex-president’s bid for official to set aside materials potentially subject to privilege protections
A federal judge has granted, at least in part, Donald Trump’s request to have a so-called special master set aside documents seized by the FBI from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate that could be subject to privilege protections in the investigation into his retention of government secrets.
The request was granted on Monday morning, a court filing showed. The court temporarily instructed the government not to review or use seized materials for investigative purposes, pending completion of such a special master’s review or a further court order, according to the filing.
