It’s about time. It’s time for clarity and transparency of President Trump’s records and property seized by the FBI. President Trump’s legal team sought motion to seek independent review of these records. A U.S. District Judge from the Southern district of Florida, Judge Aileen M. Cannon made her decision based on “the exceptional circumstances presented.” Transparency of the raid on Mar-a-Lago continues to unfold.
A federal judge on Saturday announced her “preliminary intent to appoint a special master” to review records seized by the FBI during its unprecedented raid of his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this month, at the request of former President Trump and his legal team, citing the “exceptional circumstances.”
Trump and his legal team filed a motion Monday evening seeking an independent review of the records seized by the FBI during its raid of Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, saying the decision to search his private residence just months before the 2022 midterm elections “involved political calculations aimed at diminishing the leading voice in the Republican Party, President Trump.”
“Pursuant to Rule 53(b) (1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court’s inherent authority, and without prejudice to the parties’ objections, the Court hereby provides notice of its preliminary intent to appoint a special master in this case,” Cannon wrote in a filing Saturday.
A hearing is set for Sept. 1 at 1:00 p.m. in West Palm Beach, Fla. Cannon also ordered the Justice Department to file a response by Aug. 30 and provide, “under seal,” a “more detailed Receipt for Property specifying all property seized pursuant to the search warrant executed on August 8, 2022.”

Transparency has been lacking sense the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Judge Cannon’s announcement on Saturday afternoon provides a glimmer of hope into the raid that took place on August 8. As the transparency unfolds, more questions will be answered about the what’s and why’s surrounding the FBI’s actions.
