  • FBI Completes Review of Documents Seized from Mar-a-Lago The FBI's special 'filter team' completed its review of documents seized during the August 8th search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. The team identified a limited set of potentially privileged documents, which will be processed according to established legal procedures. This development could potentially complicate Trump's efforts to have an independent special master appointed to review the seized materials.
