Trump's legal team acknowledged that the criminal probe could lead to an indictment, objecting to what they said was the special master's request that they disclose information on declassification of documents.
Both sides referenced a “draft plan” given to them by Judge Raymond J. Dearie, the newly appointed special master. Trump’s lawyers expressed concern that Dearie posed questions about the documents that the judge who appointed Dearie has left unasked, arguing that Trump might be left at a legal disadvantage if he answered them at this stage of the process.
Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly suggested in court filings that the former president could have declassified the documents — but they have not actually asserted that he did so.
Prosecutors have said the classified material is by definition the property of the government and cannot be shielded from them by privilege. Cannon’s order barred prosecutors fromJustice filing points to new legal peril for Trump and lawyers, experts say “FBI agents will attend and observe the scanning process to maintain the chain of custody of the evidence,” the government wrote.
