The newly appointed special master who will review the documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago directed lawyers for former President Trump and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to meet with him in New York on Tuesday for their first conference.
Judge Raymond Dearie, who was appointed as special master in the case on Thursday, called on Friday for a meeting and invited the two parties to suggest items for discussion, according to a court filing.
Dearie has until Nov. 30 to complete his review of the documents.
As the special master process moves forward, the Justice Department is continuing its legal battle to gain access to the classified documents seized from Trump’s Florida home last month. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, earlier this month blocked prosecutors from accessing the documents until the special master finishes his review and on Thursday rejected the DOJ’s motion to regain access.
On Friday night, the DOJ appealed the decision in a new motion to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
The DOJ argued that it needs to review the sensitive documents due to national security concerns. The Washington Post reported earlier this month that the FBI found a document detailing an unnamed foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities in its search of Mar-a-Lago, along with roughly 100 other documents labeled as confidential.
Dearie, the one special master candidate agreed upon by both Trump’s legal team and the DOJ, announced his full retirement from the U.S. District Court for Eastern New York in late August after serving as a senior judge since 2011 and previously as a chief judge of the court from 2007 to 2011. He was appointed to the court by former President Reagan and confirmed by the Senate in 1986.

The Dems were timing his arrest for the midterm elections. Looks like that won't be happening. Can't wait for the leaks to start.
“Confidential” Give me a break.
That can be just about anything, including someones shoe size.
True story - I could order parts for Marine Corps jets with a Confidential clearance; but I couldn’t work on the planes without a Top Secret clearance.
The FBI has no legal access to presidential papers. The president has total and absolute access to all documents created during his administration. This is Constitutionally not rescindable by any subsequent president.
The FBI and Biden administration are operating completely outside the jurisdiction and dictates of the US Constitution.
The FBI, DOJ, DNC, RINOS and Biden administration are operating completely as a cartel.
