Donald J. Trump v. United States, No. 22-cv-81294 (CAC).

The judge assigned to former President Donald Trump’s case against the United States concerning search of his Mar-a-Lago residence has indicated that a special master may be appointed to review the documents seized.  

The court has not solicited bids for appointment of a special counsel. 

Today a group called National Security Counselors submitted a letter to the court offering the curriculum vitae of individuals believed to be competent to serve. 

As evidence of experience, the group has filed a copy of an amicus brief submitted to the Supreme Court last term in opposition to a petition for certiorari by former President Trump concerning federal records.  There it was argued that no individual claim of presidential executive privilege ought to survive the end of an administration.
