Raymond Dearie: Special master named to oversee Donald Trump Florida files
US federal Judge Raymond Dearie has been chosen to review The files seized in The Fbi 's search of former US President Donald Trump 's Florida home.
Mr Dearie, 78, will be " special Master " and decide whether any documents are Off Limits in any legal Proceedings .
He had been proposed by Mr Trump's team and The US Department of Justice previously said it did not object.
The former US president is being investigated for his handling of classified materials.
Department of Justice officials previously said that documents stored at Mr Trump's Florida home were as part of an effort to obstruct an FBI investigation.
The Authorities say these documents should have been handed over to The National Archives - which US presidents are legally obliged to do upon leaving office.
Mr Trump, arguing that as president he had declassified all The documents, and that they were
The Request for a special Master - an independent lawyer who decides if any of The Records are covered by attorney-client or executive Privilege - was made by Mr Trump's team.
Earlier this month, a Judge granted Mr Trump's request - and banned The US government from reviewing or using The seized materials for its investigation until The special Master 's independent review has been completed.
On Thursday, US federal Judge Aileen Cannon appointed Mr Dearie and also ruled that The Department of Justice was not allowed to resume The files review.
The Department had earlier said it would take The case to an appeals court if Judge Cannon ruled against their request.
It means The justice department's ongoing criminal investigation will now be slowed down because The government cannot review or seize materials for its investigation until The special Master 's review has been completed.
The Department of Justice resisted Mr Trump's request saying that any presidential records seized in The Fbi 's 8 August search of Mar-A-Lago " belong to The United States , not to The former president".
It is not clear how long The special Master 's review will take.
Mr Trump's lawyers have argued some of The documents are covered by attorney-client Privilege - a part of US law that allows people to keep conversations with their lawyers private.
His legal team have also claimed " executive Privilege " over The documents, which allows presidents to keep certain communications Under Wraps .
However, some legal experts argue that these moves are merely a tactic to delay Proceedings - since The documents have already been looked at.
