Trump Lawyers Reject Justice Department Probe

Donald Trump’s lawyers have rejected the US Department of Justice’s push to resume its review of documents seized from the former president’s home during an FBI search last month. <br />The lawyers also questioned whether documents marked classified that were recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate were indeed secret files, suggesting that the former president may have declassified them before leaving office. <br />Trump’s lawyers argued that an independent arbiter, known as a special master, is needed to protect materials that contain attorney-client privilege, executive privilege and personal information, including medical and tax records, from being examined by the Justice Department
