1 September 2022, 4:24 AM |The filing comes just one day before Trump's legal team will square off against the US Justice Department in a federal court in West Palm Beach, in a bid by Trump to convince US District Judge Aileen Cannon to appoint a special master to review the materials seized by the FBI from his home on August 8.
“Simply put, the notion that Presidential records would contain sensitive information should have never been cause for alarm,” his attorneys said. The filing by Trump’s team came less than 24 hours after the Justice Department released a scathing 54-page document with exhibits outlining publicly for the first time evidence it obtained that Trump may have tried to obstruct its investigation by deliberately trying to conceal documents.
At that visit, Trump’s attorney also prohibited government investigators from opening or looking inside some of the boxes that Trump kept inside one of his storage rooms, they said.
