Trump, DOJ Filings Signal Raymond Dearie May Emerge as Special Master
NewsweekFEB 2023
The judge's decision to approve Trump's lawyers' request for a 'special master' is absolutely the right move considering the unprecedented nature of the FBI's search of a former president's home. This marks a win for Trump, who is the innocent target of an illegitimate political investigation.
The Trump-appointed judge's biased ruling to permit a 'special master' will not stop the investigation. Cannon cited weak arguments in her decision, which likely means that the DOJ's appeal holds weight. This bump in the road won't impede the investigation's findings.
