Former President Donald Trump is considering filing a court motion which calls for the appointment of a 'special master' to review and return evidence collected during last week's FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate, one of his attorneys said Friday.
Former President Donald Trump is considering filing a court motion which calls for the appointment of a "special master" to review and return evidence collected during last week's FBIAppearing on Mark Levin's radio show, attorney Jim Trusty said that the filing could come as soon as Friday night but also as late as Monday.Two people familiar with the discussions also confirmed the potential court filing to CBS News on Friday.
Trusty said Trump's legal team will argue a special master is necessary to review the seizure to guard against the possibility that material covered by executive privilege or attorney-client privilege has been seized. A motion based on this rule would call for the full return of the items seized based on an assertion that there was something improper about the execution of the search. Rule 41 is a "motion to return property." It states, "A person aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure of property or by the deprivation of property may move for the property's return."
Ty Cobb, a former White House attorney to Trump, told CBS News in an interview Friday that he believes the government may also be in favor of a special master in order to "err on the side of caution."
