US Name Special Master To Review Trump’s Seized Files

 

EKO HOT BLOG reports that US federal judge Raymond Dearie has been chosen to review the files seized in the FBI’s search of former US President Donald Trump’s Florida home.

 

Dearie, 78, will be “special master” and decide whether any documents are off limits in any legal proceedings.

 

EDITOR’S PICK

 

He had been proposed by Trump’s team and the US Department of Justice previously said it did not object.

 

The former US president is being investigated for his handling of classified materials.

 

Department of Justice officials previously said that documents stored at Trump’s Florida home were likely to have been concealed as part of an effort to obstruct an FBI investigation.

 

The authorities say these documents should have been handed over to the National Archives – which US presidents are legally obliged to do upon leaving office.

Trump denies any kind of wrongdoing, arguing that as president he had declassified all the documents, and that they were kept securely at his Mar-a-Lago home.
