The Department of Justice filed its response opposing the appointment of a special master to review documents seized by the FBI at the Mar-a-Lago home of former President Donald Trump.
Included in the response was a picture featuring classified documents on the floor of the former president’s Florida estate.
“Counsel for the former President offered no explanation as to why boxes of government records, including 38 documents with classification markings, remained at the Premises nearly five months after the production of the Fifteen Boxes and nearly one-and-a-half years after the end of the Administration,” the filing stated.
The filing also argued that the appointment of a special master would slow the ongoing investigation.
