If a federal judge appoints a special master to review materials taken by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago, it could complicate matters in the federal government case.
But Brand emphasized that the presence of a special master could complicate the case if that person were to clash with the Justice Department’s own “filter team” — also called a “taint team”officials not connected to the primary investigation who are tasked with ensuring investigators don’t see information to which they are not entitled and that could taint the case.
Cannon, who earned her bachelor’s degree from Duke University and graduated from the University of Michigan law school, served from 2013 to 2020 as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida. She clerked for Judge Steven M. Colloton, who was appointed by President George W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit.
Yet, he said, Trump’s team, in seeking the special master in a 27-page court filing last week, has opened the door for Justice Department prosecutors to address, in public, not only the legal arguments raised by the former president, but also the factual inaccuracies. The fight over the documents has injected another flash point into the nation’s political debate, with less than 75 days before the 2022 midterm elections.
