Cannon, a Trump appointee, did not set a specific deadline for the Justice Department’s filing beyond requesting “on or before” Tuesday. The judge also ordered the agency to file under seal more details about what it seized from Trump’s resort and a notice setting out the status of the materials’ review. Trump must file his response with the Justice Department by 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday night, according to Cannon’s order, and the judge has scheduled a hearing for Thursday to consider Trump’s request for a special master — a third-party lawyer appointed by a court to oversee part of a particular case. Notably, Cannon has already signaled a “preliminary intent” to grant Trump’s request, which could bring new complications to the Justice Department’s closely watched investigation. Trump’s legal team has widely argued that a special master is necessary to ensure the Justice Department returns any of his personal documents seized during the Mar-a-Lago search. The former President’s lawyers say his constitutional rights were violated and that privileged materials may have been seized. But in court filings, Trump has not specified exactly what he hoped a special master would filter, other than general allusions to “privileged and potentially privileged material.” The Justice Department, meanwhile, has already indicated it is using an internal filter team to review seized items and separate material that could be the subject of privilege claims. In a court filing Monday, the agency said it identified “a limited set of materials” from its search of documents obtained from Mar-a-Lago that may contain material covered by attorney-client privilege and is pending resolving disputes about privileges.
