Palm Beach County Attorney Dave Aronberg described Trump's lawsuit as a 'delay tactic' that was 'a day late and a dollar short' on Monday.
Trumpover the August 8 raid of his Florida home on Monday, demanding that the DOJ return items"not within the scope" of the executed search warrant, provide him with a more detailed inventory of the items that were seized and appoint a"special master" before conducting any further review of seized materials.
"This is a day late and a dollar short," Aronberg said."Namely, two weeks late. The documents have likely already been reviewed...It's tough to argue at this point the urgency you need to justify such an extraordinary step as a special master when you've waited two weeks to file your motion. So, this looks like a delay tactic... especially because they specifically request a pause in the investigation in this motion.
"I don't think they're going to get it," he added."This is what happens when you have trouble finding experienced criminal defense lawyers who represent you. You end up litigating your case on right-wing media instead of the courtroom while the clock runs out." Former President Donald Trump is pictured during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas on August 6, 2022. Trump filed a lawsuit over the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago on Monday, which some legal experts have said is doomed to fail., including some documents marked"top secret," although the former president has claimed that he declassified the materials just before leaving office in January 2021.
The DOJ said that the raid"was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause" in a statement issued after Trump filed suit on Monday. The former president argued that the raid was"illegal and unconstitutional" in a Truth Social post after the filing, maintaining that his legal team was"taking all actions necessary to get the documents back.
