(ANSA) - NEW YORK, AUG 22 - The FBI blitz in Mar-a-Lago was dictated by "politics" and "politics cannot be allowed to have an impact on justice. Trump is clearly the frontrunner for the Republican primaries and for the general elections of 2024. Beyond that, his endorsements in the 2022 mid-term elections were decisive for the Republican candidates. "
This was stated by the lawyers of the former US president in the legal action launched against the American government to request the appointment of a 'special master' for examining the documents searched by the FBI in Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI raid was "illegal and unconstitutional.
We are taking the necessary steps to get the documents back, which would have been delivered without the spregevoleraid.
I will never stop fighting for the Americans. "Trump said, noting that the motion in the Florida court was filed" to enforce my values in the unnecessary "FBI blitz.
" The government has been treating President Donald Trump for some time .
unfairly ", say the tycoon's lawyers in the motion filed before Trump-appointed Southern District judge Aileen Cannon. If Cannon accepts the request, the review process of the documents seized by the FBI in Mar-a-Lago will lengthen and also slow down. the government's investigation into whether he obstructed a federal investigation.
In other high-profile Trump-related cases they have been named special masters, for example for former lawyer Michael Cohen.
Trump's request for a special master's degree is not unusual.
What is not common, CNN reports, is that the former president's lawyers presented it two weeks after the FBI blitz.
This could signal a behind-the-scenes disagreement among the lawyers on how to proceed.
