because there was no indication of malfeasance or infringement of Trump’s rights in connection with the search a magistrate judge ordered. Bratt also argued that Trump hasn’t shown the requisite need for the special master process, which is very rarely used in federal investigations. Trump’s attorneys have argued that the special master process was needed in order to protect his right to claim attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. The former president’s attorneys have also fought to use the process to assert that seized records bearing classification markings like “Top Secret,” may have been declassified by Trump before he left office.
