NEW YORK (77WABC) — New York US District Judge Raymond Dearie will serve as the special master with the job of reviewing documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago.
Dearie — the only candidate for the role that both the Justice Department and former President Trump’s legal team agreed on — was chosen by US District Judge Aileen Cannon.
Nominated by former President Ronald Reagan, Dearie has served as a federal judge in New York since 1986. He retired in 2011 and is now a senior judge in the district.
