A federal judge has granted former President Donald Trump's legal team's request for a special master to review the trove of documents discovered by the FBI last month in a search of his Florida estate.
for a special master to review the trove of documents discovered by the FBI last month in a search of his Florida estate, a ruling that will likely delay the Justice Department's investigation into the classified files.
The order does not block an intelligence assessment of the classified materials by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence It would also block the Justice Department's prosecutors from continuing the review the materials "for investigative purposes pending completion of the special master review."
The appointment is likely to slow the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials for investigative purposes. But it is not clear that it will have any significant effect on any investigative decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe.
