The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month uncovered “a limited set of materials” that are potentially subject to attorney-client privilege, federal prosecutors said in a Monday court filing.
The Justice Department’s new disclosure comes after Trump’s legal team had requested a special master — an independent third party — be appointed to review items seized during the Aug. 8 raid to ensure that any that might be protected by claims of legal privilege is set aside.
