Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida on August 15, 2022.
Syndication: Palm Beach Post
WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI search of Donald Trump’s Florida estate has spawned a parallel “special master” process that has slowed the Justice Department’s criminal investigation and exposed simmering tensions between department prosecutors and lawyers for the former president.
The probe into the presence of top secret information at Mar-a-Lago continues. But barbed rhetoric in the past week’s court filings has laid bare deep disagreements related to the special master’s work and made clear that a process the Trump team initially sought has not been playing to the president’s advantage.
The special master, Raymond Dearie, is a former federal prosecutor and served as a U.S. District judge in Brooklyn.
