USA (bbabo.net), - Attorneys for former US President Donald Trump on August 22 requested the appointment of a special court supervisor in the case of seizing documents from the Trump estate in Florida.
In a lawsuit, the former president's legal team is seeking the appointment of an independent lawyer, a manager of special cases, who will oversee the review of the seized documents. Lawyers also asked the court to suspend the work of federal investigators in this case until it is reviewed.
In the petition, Donald Trump, through his legal representatives, refers to his constitutional rights, which may have been violated as a result of an FBI search of his house two weeks earlier, when investigators also seized the ex-president's personal documents.
The wish was expressed that a special independent oversight body would also guarantee the return of personal documents to Donald Trump.
Authorities also seized classified and top secret documents at Trump's Florida residence, according to documents released by the Justice Department.
The affidavit testifying to the exact purpose of the proceedings was not made public by the state authorities, due to the reference to the interests of the investigation.
Last week, a district judge in Florida rejected the arguments of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, ruling that the affidavit should be made public. The judge on Monday echoed Trump's sentiment, saying it was an "unprecedented case" whose publicity is of "public and historical interest."
