Judge Halts FBI Use Of Mar-a-Lago Raid Docs, Appoints Special Master To Review

A federal judge on Monday granted former President Trump's request for a third-party expert to review materials seized by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago residence.

US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, said in a Sunday ruling released on Monday that a so-called special master would review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege, as well as make recommendations regarding the investigative value of materials - and what property should be returned to Trump, Bloomberg reports.

Details of the review process will be decided after both sides submit proposals.
