Respond. we look at the filing by 8 pm, according to the judge. look, we expect that they are going to continue to push for the special master. you know, we know from earlier filings in the justice department that they have already start digging through these materials. theyve already set up a filter team. theyve already identified some materials that could contain, potentially, attorney-client privilege information. but weve also heard publicly and privately from the trump team they do not feel...

Stephanie. let me just take a step back, because i think keeping eyes on the prizes port and here. the reason they executed the warrant to begin with, was to get evidence they could use in an investigation, and perhaps the trial if they charge anybody with a crime. and so, when way the other, the department of justice in the fbi, are eventually going to get that. either through their internal filter team, screening through privileged materials, or if the judge appointed special master. i imagine...

You know how a lot of this works. >> absolutely. i can tell you the president in the end of cannot just willy-nilly by the stroke of a pen declassified documents. i think one of the questions that i want answered is why in the hell did a president of the united states, former president of the united states, have to have these kind of documents in his basement? i have seen videos and ive seen pictures of these documents. these are documents that could hurt, harm the united states of america. im v...

Argument from the get-go. >> what do you make of the strategy to try to appoint a special master? we know that the doj filter team could actually already be done with reviewing any of the material already. is it a stalling tactic? >> you know, it certainly seems to be that way because, you know, donald trump is known to use stall tactics when it comes to litigation. however special masters are incorporated in cases all the time. it is not that rare to have a special master involved in a case. bu...

Which we now know that was a false statement. >> just with respect to the need for an independent review, a third party to look at this evidence, the justice department this point. in any event, the governors filter team has already completed its work on segregating any seized materials that are potentially subject to attorney client privilege. the gunmans investigative team has already reviewed all of the remaining materials. in other words, they know, they say its already been done, its done w...

Trumps request for a third party court appointed special master to review the seized documents. the justice department revealed yesterday that their own filter team already went through these documents and found a "limited set of documents they believe to be privileged. "doj opposes the special master saying trumps team has made meritless accusations against the government and their motion for a special master. also new to my car former republican new jersey governor christine todd whitman forme...
