<v 0>Trump requested special master to review the documents that were seized from</v>

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.400
Margo. It is a victory for him to get the appointment of a special master,

3
00:00:09.020 --> 00:00:13.840
but it doesn't thwart the criminal investigation

4
00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:15.800
for all the other documents.

5
00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:21.080
<v 1>Special.</v>

6
00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:25.400
<v 0>Master is a legal expert that courts sometimes turn to</v>

7
00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:30.800
for advice on how to dispose of a specific case at the

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:31.800
federal level. Um,

9
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.120
the Supreme court sometimes names special masters to help resolve disputes

10
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:41.000
between states such as governing water like the Colorado river between

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:41.833
Western states,

12
00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:47.040
us district judge Eileen cannon has appointed a special master to review the

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.880
documents that were seized in the search of Trump's estate.

14
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:55.400
Because of the concern that some of the documents were either

15
00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:00.160
financial communications that Trump was having with his lawyers or

16
00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:03.800
communications from Trump aids to the president,

17
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.920
while he governed the administration,

18
00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:11.000
the FBI agents who searched Malago retrieved more than

19
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.960
11,000 documents along with assorted pictures and even some articles

20
00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:19.360
of clothing among those 11,000 documents,

21
00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:23.880
the government itself identified 500

22
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.760
pages or so of documents that might qualify under attorney client

23
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.760
privilege or under executive privilege.

24
00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:35.920
The special master would be reviewing those documents and others to

25
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.840
see if more documents should be withheld from the government.

26
00:01:38.870 --> 00:01:43.640
What the approval of a special master is likely to do to the case is

27
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:44.500
delay.

28
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.920
The investigation that the justice department is conducting into the

29
00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:51.400
documents seized at Mar Lago.

30
00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:56.080
And it's not expected to be an easy chore because the

31
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.000
potential special masters will need expertise.

32
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.400
In attorney client privilege in executive privilege,

33
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:07.000
they'll have to have some of the highest security clearances in the government

34
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.760
to review these top secret documents that include some of the government's

35
00:02:11.790 --> 00:02:13.720
most fiercely guarded secrets.

36
00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:18.760
And it's got to be somebody who is agreeable to both sides because the justice

37
00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:22.840
department and Trump's lawyers have to agree on who they nominate,

38
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:27.640
finding a candidate that fits all those requirements could take time

39
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:31.880
and then having the candidate review, those documents could also take time.
