President Trump just won his case to get a special master appointed over the items seized from his home at Mar-a-Lago by the FBI.
Here’s the ruling from the judge:

NEWS: Judge Cannon has granted Trump’s request for a special master to review attorney client and executive privilege — she also says her order will not stop the intelligence community review of the records. Unclear how that’s going to work. https://t.co/TVzYtZUvc0 pic.twitter.com/hjseiwFAar

This is a great ruling for Trump. I just wish he’d have done it a lot sooner, as we know the DOJ has reviewed all of the documents by now.
But I’m glad a special master can review everything they did and hopefully at some point we find out more about the true reasons for this raid.
