Trump Scores Massive Court Victory - DOJ Reeling

Hey everybody, welcome to Explain America

So just hours ago, U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon ruled or didn't rule exactly

She gave a preliminary inclination that she was inclined to appoint a special master to

review the documents that were taken from Mar-a-Lago by the FBI. Now the Department of Justice is going to have to present its case in her courtroom

along with President Trump's attorneys on Thursday, September 1st. And this is very big

The Trump team has been arguing that there needs to be a special master to review the

documents and find out which are his personal documents and which belong to the United States government

So what is a special master? A special master is basically an attorney who is nonpartisan or at least is supposed

to be nonpartisan that is appointed by the court, that does not work for the DOJ, does

not work for Trump's team, that goes through the documents and decides which is which

his or the government's. This is good for a few reasons. Number one, we're going to get to see if this goes through, we're going to get to see exactly

what was taken from Trump that should not have been taken from Trump

But it works to his advantage in another way as well, because if the judge does what she

says she's going to do or what she's inclined to do, it will slow the proceedings down

This buys Trump some more time to get his case in order against the Department of Justice

Trump's legal team filed on Monday for the special master and the decision came down

today or at least the preliminary intent. Now the reason they filed it is they said that the FBI's search was overly broad, that

it was too grand in scope, that they got their hands on too many documents

Now we know for a fact that they had to return two of President Donald Trump's passports

to him because they went too far with what they were grabbing

And Alan Dershowitz, a famed attorney and Harvard professor emeritus, also said he believed

that the search was too broad in scope. In fact, several legal experts have said the search was too broad in scope

But now we're going to find out exactly how broad it was and how many documents they took

that they shouldn't have. So the final decision will be made on Thursday

Now just yesterday, the affidavit was released that showed or purported to show the reasoning

behind the search to begin with. But it was so heavily redacted that you really don't know much

And the news media has been going off on a tangent about this, acting like they finally

got him this time, right? How many times since 2016 have you heard they finally got him this time

So there's not a lot in that affidavit really to parse through and figure out exactly what

their reasoning was. Of course, they have some legitimate reasons. You don't want to let people know who your witnesses are

We're going to have to wait and see. We will have the news for you as soon as we get it on Thursday
