What happened: The Trump-appointed judge has also overruled some procedures proposed by the Brooklyn, New York-based special master in the documents case — the senior US District Court judge Raymond Dearieappointed by her at the request of the former President, reported Politically.
Cannon’s latest order means they are on a slower schedule for the Special Master’s document review and that their processing of objections to decisions made by Dearie would stretch into the new year, according to the report.
The Florida judge dismissed Dearie’s plan to require Trump to clarify upfront whether the CID’s inventory of the seized materials is accurate.
Dearie’s suggestion of dividing documents into sentences and treating objections sequentially was also dropped by Cannon. Instead, Trump’s side must say which documents are subject to attorney-client privilege or executive privilege by a specific date — most likely in early November, Politico reported.
