Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to halt the continued review of classified documents seized from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month until a special master or third party can be appointed to ensure that possibly privileged material is shielded from scrutiny, according to court documents filed Monday.
The lawsuit filed Monday by Trump’s legal teamcast the search in stark political terms and described the government’s search warrant as overly broad because it authorized FBI agents to seize “boxes of documents merely because they are physically found together with other items purportedly within the scope of the warrant.”
