Additional omissions included a definition of “personal records” under the Presidential Records Act, failure to disclose that Trump had previously received classified information during sensitive briefings at Mar-a-Lago while he was president, and a misrepresentation that the FBI coordinated with the National Archives and Records Administration before a referral letter was sent to the DOJ, according to the order.
Judge Denies Trump’s Bid To Toss Mar-A-Lago Warrant : Judge’s Decision
The judge, however, didn’t agree with the special counsel’s opposition to an evidentiary hearing for Trump’s motion to suppress evidence.
“The special counsel vigorously opposes any further factual development on defendant Trump’s motion to suppress — both in the context of his challenge to the crime-fraud exception to presumptively privileged attorney-client communications, and also with respect to defendant Trump’s particularity challenge to Attachment B to the search warrant,” Judge Cannon said, adding that the court reserves ruling on Trump’s motion to suppress for insufficient particularity and unlawful piercing of attorney-client privilege.
Reactions and Representation
