The U.S. Justice Department believes a ‘special master’ would compromise their probe into Trump’s classified files
U.S. officials have reportedly found evidence of obstruction when it comes to the handling of classified records at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The Justice Department (DOJ) believes a special master, which Trump’s legal team have requested, would impede the ongoing investigation.
DOJ officials are warning the former U.S. President may have concealed documents during an FBI search at his Mar-a-Lago property, which took place in June.
Meanwhile, the incumbent President Joe Biden is defending the FBI’s raids.
President Biden said he is “sickened” to see attacks on the FBI, including threats on the lives of law enforcement agents and their families, for doing their jobs. He is also standing firm about not defunding U.S. Police, and the FBI itself.

Trump believes the contents were declassified and is denying any wrongdoing.
