One hand or giuliani on the other hand, you know that there will be documents that in fact the government doesnt have any business looking at with respect to other clients. so oftentimes a special master is appointed right away, an outsider to look at the documents. these documents presumably belong to the united states, and so the notion, all of them belong to the united states to the extent that they are presidential records. so he bears the burden of suggesting why anyone -- anything should b...

"this is legally pointless "because i am protected by executive privilege". where does he stand on that? not on very firm ground. executive privilege belongs to the current president of the united states, who is not trump. as a former president, he has the same privileges that other citizens would have, and executive privilege is not one of them. sometimes, theres a little slippage here and he seems to be talking about, or his supporters seem to be talking about, attorney—client privilege — ...

President trump on friday to refine his arguments, this squ for a special master to review these documents. we should note there was already a review team of a sort, a filter team thats going through these documents to see if there are those that fall into the category of attorney/client privilege here. i mean, paul, do you see this in your experience as something thats going to go somewhere? that a special master may indeed be assigned? >> i think this motion has been made way too late in the g...

Lawyers office you know you are going to find a lot of attorney/client privilege documents. so what the justice department likes to do is have what they call a filter team which are lawyers who dont have anything to do with the investigation. they take the first pass through the documents and they decide what the prosecution team is allowed to see. and the idea is make sure they dont get tainted by privileged information. what the trump people are saying is we dont like the idea of the justice d...

Guess resubmit its request. whats going on with that? >> yeah, because they made it to a different judge and that judge sort of gently said they need to convince her she has jurisdiction, that it shouldnt be going to the magistrate deal with the warrant issues and other conditions they need to meet to convince her this is even a legitimate exercise. theyre asking for a special master, which would be an independent set of eyes to sift through documents regarding, for example, attorney/client priv...

Word that you described, the team we became so familiar with during the mueller investigations. chuck, as ken was saying, it has been two weeks. theyve gone through the material. if they havent gotten through all of it, theyve gotten through a good portion of it. what would the point of appointing a special master be right now? >> filter team, katy, i got it. filter team. so heres the point. it gives the imprimatur of neutrality. theres nothing wrong with the department of justice serving as the...

Special master serve as the filter. it happened in i believe both the michael cohen search and the rudy giuliani search, where a judge in the southern district of new york appointed a special master, a retired federal judge, to serve on the filter team. so it makes some sense and it may make a lot of sense here given the keen public interest in this particular case. >> chuck rosenberg, ken dilanian, and jackie, thanks for starting us off. >> the uvalde police chief has been fired. >> and kemp is...

Team going through the documents, part of which is to look for documents that might be -- that might have some attorney/client privilege. does that accomplish already what trumps team is demanding here? >> it doesnt accomplish what trumps team is demanding, but it accomplishes what needs to be accomplished, which is it doesnt really make any sense for trump to be asking for any kind of filtering on executive privilege. again, reflects the misunderstanding of executive privilege as being his own ...

Justice departments investigation in your opinion? >> i think it shows the justice department has been so careful here, reflecting garlands approach to things, trying to be very methodical and really trying to actually make a record that they were bending over backwards, to be reasonable, to trump, and trying to be differential. i dont know -- i personally agree with that approach as katelyns report was just pointing out, there was no reason for him to be having to grant access to it, so the fac...

2 weeks since the search and there has been a filter team already at work in the justice department making sure that evidence that should not be used as the investigation continues is used. cnn, washington. michael genovese is the president at loyola and author of the modern presidency six debates that define the institution. its always good to have you with us. the former president has filed a 27 page lawsuit in the week of the search of his home. all in an attempt to block the review of the ...
