前总统的律师唐纳德·特朗普周三，特朗普要求一名“特别大师”审查联邦调查局在他的Mar-a-Lago庄园扣押的材料，这一争议引发了司法部的回应。
特朗普的律师向佛罗里达州的一名联邦法官辩称，需要进行审查，以处理他们认为可能属于行政特权范围的事项。
周二晚些时候，在周四的法庭听证会之前，司法部非常详细地阐述了DOJ方面获取高度机密记录的努力，他们声称，自特朗普离开白宫以来，这些记录被不当存储在Mar-a-Lago，而抵抗运动他们直截了当地称之为妨碍行为特朗普的代表在努力将他们移交的过程中会见了他们。
艾琳·坎农法官表示，她倾向于批准特朗普法律团队的请求，任命一名特别检察官干预正在进行的文件审查。
Trump's legal team responds to DOJ in dispute over review of seized records
Lawyers for former PresidentDonald Trumpon Wednesday responded to the Justice Department in the dispute over Trump's request for a "special master" to review materials the FBI seized at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump's lawyers have argued to a federal judge in Florida that the review is needed to deal with matters they argue could be covered by executive privilege.
Late Tuesday, the Justice Department, ahead of a court hearing Thursday, laid out in extraordinary detail DOJ's efforts to obtain highly classified records they allege were improperly stored at Mar-a-Lago since Trump's departure from the White House, and the resistance -- whichthey describe outright as obstructive conduct, that they were met with by Trump's representatives in their efforts to have them handed over.
Judge Aileen Cannon has indicated she was leaning toward granting a request from Trump's legal team to appoint a special master to intervene in the ongoing review of documents.
