Formally appointed new york senior district judge raymond dearie to be the special master to review the thousands of documents seized during last months search. he was the only candidate acceptable to trump and the justice department. the judge also denied the departments request for continued access to roughly 100,000 -- i should say 100 classified documents for use in their criminal investigation, saying she isnt prepared to accept the dojs assertions at face value without the special master r...

Classified documents when they said it was a matter of national security. >> this judge who was appointed by former president trump really adopted the trump view of the case almost in its entirety and basically told the justice department that they cant be trusted to -- in their assertions that something is classified. they cant be trusted to decide which material is relevant for a criminal investigation and which material is privileged. it was a remarkable ruling in that respect. its one thing ...

Controlling legal framework that he has to have spent the money already. if other words if i had a tom winter defense fund, is there anything that said when i have to spend it. because presumably trump could possibly argue, well i am raising it for legal defense fund. i just havent happened to use it yet. it is a little bit unclear how they could bring that. the assertions and the way they moved federal someone, they didnt follow laws and back in 201-we reported that manhattan district attorneys...
