The special master, Raymond Dearie, claimed Trump doesn’t need to confirm that the FBI’s list of classified documents and other items seized in the raid is accurate.
Dearie requested the 45th president’s team file a declaration regarding the validity of the inventory. Trump was claiming that agents possibly planted some of the documents removed from his Palm Beach resort during the Aug. 8 FBI raid.
Judge Cannon agreed with Trump’s attorneys, who argued the Special Master’s request overstepped the bounds of Cannon’s order that asked the government for a certified inventory list.
In a six-page ruling, Cannon wrote “The Court’s Appointment Order did not contemplate [Trump’s] obligation,” adding “the parties and the Special Master now are situated to proceed forward with the review process.”
Currently the Trump team filing is “in-review” by the U.S. Supreme Court.
