Judge Raymond Dearie pressed Trump’s lawyers during a hearing in Brooklyn federal court over whether they had evidence the 45th president had declassified the records seized during the Aug. 8…
the trove of documents seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last month told the former president’s lawyers Tuesday they “can’t have your cake and eat it” amid arguments over whether the files were classified or not.
Trump’s attorney James Trusty had argued in court they were “not in a position” to discuss their possible defense until they see the files. In a court filing ahead of the hearing, Trump’s lawyers argued that the time for addressing questions about the declassification status of the documents would be if his side filed a motion seeking for the Justice Department to return some of the materials seized during the raid.
But the special master said it wasn’t just a matter of having clearance, it was also “a matter of need to know.” Dearie also signaled that he intends to push briskly through the review process, saying there was “little time” to complete the assigned tasks.Edelstein said they hoped to get the records digitized and provided to Trump’s legal team by next week.
