A federal judge has rejected an amicus brief submitted on behalf of former federal prosecutors who said a special master is not needed to review documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
The brief, authored by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partners Brad Karp, Roberto Finzi, Harris Fischman and David K. Kessler, as well as attorneys from Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, Norman Eisen and the nonprofit advocacy group Democracy 21, was filed last week. And its rejection came a day after Judge Aileen M. Cannon granted most of Trump’s request for a special master to oversee documents and items taken by the FBI during the Aug. 8 search.
