Court grants DOJ request for lengthy rebuttal to Trump special master request

[Washington Examiner] A judge granted the Department of Justice's request for an extended response to Donald Trump's petition for a special master to review materials seized by federal officials from the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The decision came shortly after DOJ officials wrote in a filing Monday, "The government seeks to file a response up to forty pages in length in order to adequately address the legal and factual issues raised by Plaintiff's Motion and Supplement and the Court's August 27 Order requiring a response from the government."

Trump has sought the appointment of a special master to oversee the department's combing of evidence obtained from his Mar-a-Lago resort during the Aug. 8 search and seizure by FBI agents. A judge has signaled her "preliminary intent" to side with Trump in the special master request.

In the filing, the DOJ noted that Trump's lawyers filed a 27-page and 10-page motion and supplemental motion in his special master request. They argued they needed an exception to exceed the 20-page limit on opposition moratoriums due to the nature of the case. A hearing on the special master request has been set for Thursday.

#1 No need to rush, anytime in late-2023 or mid-2024 will be fine. The indictment will be handed down from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Timing is everything. The outcome is of course, already known.
