Judge Aileen Cannon declined to issue a ruling on former President Donald Trump's bid to have a third-party special master review the evidence collected by the FBI during its search of his primary residence.
Instead, a written ruling will be released “in due course.”
Attorneys from the Department of Justice called Trump's request for a special master, made weeks after FBI agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, a belated attempt to delay the government's investigation into whether or not Trump's storage of documents from his time in the White House harmed national security.
The DOJ had urged Judge Cannon to deny Trump's request, saying that during the yearlong legal back-and-forth that preceded the raid, Trump never claimed executive privilege over the top-secret and highly sensitive materials until very recently.
Trump's lawyers handed over some of the documents in question in June after a grand jury subpoena required the former president to turn them over. Afterward, a Justice Department filing says DOJ “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation.”
Trump remains under investigation for potential crimes, including possible violations of the Espionage Act.

Trump should nominate a couple of people for the job, like Professor Jonathan Turley or Alan Dershowitz from Harvard Law School or Retired United States Supreme Court Justice Breyer, people who are above reproach of any kind.
rigged ruling right??
No it’s all from the socialist left.
Somehow or other, this all remains a joke. They have nothing more urgent to do with their time than to try and crucify President Trump. Do they really think he is completely stupid? They act as though every time they come after him it will be the end of him. GOT NEWS FOR YOU FOLKS, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NEVER EVER GOING AWAY.
They are terrified of what will happen if Trump survives. Might we one day be again called, “One Nation Under God”?
Not likely, the left wing radicals, the progressives, and the woke crowd, will never accept that again. They will destroy this republic unless stopped .
MORE NEWS HE’s NOT UP FOR ELECTION AT THIS TIME BUT DEMS GOTTA SHAKE THEIR BASE
Are they trying to postpone it as long as possible so elections will be over in “due course”? This probably means in “due time” which will be never.
The Fuh-King DOJ and FBI can take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut !
They are CRIMINALS and so full of Excrement … it is not even funny !
Just how much FAKE information have they stuffed into the Boxes they stole from President Trump’s home in Florida ?
The US Citizenry can not put any Trust in Any of the Alphabet Agencies because they ALL have been Politically Weaponized against the USA Citizenry !
It is time to FIRE EVERY last Member or agent and completely start over With fresh minds and outlooks toward the USA !
How the Devil must be laughing as what was once One Nation Under God is now run by the greedy and power mad, while the Holy Russian Church has Patriarch Kirill as head demon. This truly seems like the end times. Is death our only path to peace?
I thought a former president always has executive privilege.
No way he can be denied because of all the lies tricks these democratic politicians have done to him, they are criminals what they did is criminal they need prosecuted for their crimes to Trump, and the money they waisted of Taxpayers the democratic party needs to be forced to pay every penny back that should include the 15 billions they stole for obamacare and the following year the the billions they took to keep obamacare a float all back to Social Security were they stole it from,
Never owned a MAGA hat never wore one and never accepted money from China to sell out America for personal family gain unlike you and your family.Your attempt to take the spotlight off your family corruption did not work.Real Americans know full well what kind of people the bidens are.Biden crime family have done nothing to stop Chinese fentanyl from coming into the US from China via Mexico, begining to wonder if the Hunter Biden crime family somehow are in on that action. Seem’s like it’s a non topic with the Biden’s,the only ones not protesting fentanyl crimes are those making money off of the product.Time to find out all the deals Hunter made.
