Trump files motion for special master to review items seized in Mar-a-Lago raid – By Alexander Mallin and Katherine Faulders (ABC News) / Aug 22, 2022He wants an injunction to bar the government from reviewing seized materials.
Former President Donald Trump filed a motion in federal court in Florida on Monday seeking the appointment of a special master to review materials seized by the Justice Department from his Mar-a-Lago estate in a raid earlier this month.
The motion from Trump seeks an injunction that would bar the government from any further review of the seized materials until the appointment of a special master, and also requests a “more detailed” receipt from the government of items that were seized.
The motion further requests an order from the judge to have the Justice Department return any item seized “that was not within the scope of the Search Warrant.”
Sources have told ABC News the search of Trump’s Palm Beach home two weeks ago was connected to a probe into whether Trump improperly took classified documents and other records to Florida after leaving the White House.
