Judge's ruling on special master in Trump docs case is 'deeply flawed'

Fresno CA

Description

Former Attorney General William Barr decried the decision by a federal judge to appoint a special master to review government documents discovered in an FBI raid of former President Donald Trump's Florida home and country club, calling it "wrong" and "deeply flawed." On Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to her position by Trump in 2020, sided with the former president, granting his legal team's request that an independent arbiter be appointed to review the documents, many of them highly classified, that were found during an August search of Mar-a-Lago. "The opinion, I think, was wrong, and I think the government should appeal it," Barr said during a Tuesday interview on Fox News. "It's deeply flawed in a number of ways."
