According to Reuters reported on September 5, on the same day, Aileen Canon, a court judge of the Federal District Court of South Florida, agreed to the request of former US President Trump to allow him to hire a special supervisor to review the Federal Investigation Bureau The documents seized in Haihu Manor may postpone the criminal investigation of the Ministry of Justice.

The judge was appointed by Trump during his tenure

Trump popularized his team to make a motion, asking the court to appoint a special supervisor to conduct an independent review of the records detained when the Federal Investigation Bureau raids the Haihu Manor.

Some confidential documents found from Trump Lake Park

The judge Kannon, who agreed with Trump, was appointed by Trump in 2020, and Trump stepped down in 2021. In the ruling, Kannon claimed that Trump was facing the shame of being searched, and any prosecution based on confiscated documents would cause "reputation damage".

The special supervisor will be an independent third party. His tasks include not only documents within the scope of the customer privilege, but also any records that may be included in the scope of administrative privileges.

Kannon asked Trump's legal team and the Ministry of Justice to jointly submit a proposed list of special supervisors before this Friday. No matter who the court eventually knocked down, it needs to have the necessary security permits and legal professional knowledge.

It is unclear whether the Ministry of Justice will appeal to Kannon's ruling. Anthony Keli, a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice, said the United States was reviewing the opinion.

After Kannon's ruling, Trump posted on his social platform and said: "Remember to fight with a completely corrupted" Ministry of Justice "and the Federal Investigation Bureau, it takes courage and" guts'. "

FBI found 11,000 government documents in Haihu Manor

Trump was investigating because he took the government documents (some of which was marked as highly confidential) when he left the White House in January 2021 and was stored in the home of Haihu Manor in Palm Beach, Florida.

According to CCTV News, in January of this year, the National File and Record Administration transported 15 boxes of documents from Haihu Manor and found that some of these documents were secretly involved. Some documents were "torn" and then contacted FBI. In those documents, FBI found 184 confidential documents. In June, the FBI visited Haihu Manor to take away a file bag with confidential documents.

The FBI of the Ministry of Justice raided Haihu Manor on August 8th. This is the first time in American history that a former president has been raided by criminal investigation.

Federal regional judges, Erin Kannan, ordered the public documents such as the investigation schedule of the FBI searched and the Ministry of Justice's investigation of the documents on September 2nd.

The list shows that from Trump's office in the Haihu Manor and the 33 boxes of items taken away in the storage room, there are more than 11,000 documents or photos, of which more than 100 are tightly tight, 54 are "secrets", 31 31 The "confidential" and 18 copies are the highest levels of "top secrets".

FBI found 90 empty folders, of which 48 were labeled "confidential", and 42 marked the words "return secretary" or "return assistant".

The list also shows that some of these files are piled in the box, some are shelved at will, mixed with books, magazines, clipping, clothing, and other personal items.

Trump may have sold confidential documents

The found empty folder caught the attention and conjecture of investigators.

According to overseas reports, former US Federal Prosecutor Cosna believes that the White House related confidential documents may have been sold by former US President Trump and Trump should be arrested immediately.

Cosna said that the most reasonable inference was to deal with Trump after illegally brought these confidential documents out of the White House. "What is the purpose of Trump's private collection of these documents? They are engaged in commercial transactions, we don't know these. " Kel McClanahan, another legal expert engaged in Guoan affairs, also said Trump may leak these documents. McLAANA warned, "The most optimistic situation is that these documents have nowhere to find, because they are already in the hands of others."
