[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non lawyer here.  Can someone provide an update to what's going on in language a non lawyer can understand?  Thanks![/quote]

In the official search warrant proceeding, several news outlets and other organizations have filed motions to unseal the affidavit supporting the warrant.  DOJ has objected to the unsealing, and Trump has not appeared in that proceeding to express a view on the issue.  The court said it would most likely agree to unseal the affidavit but it could be so heavily redacted (for sensitive information that should not be disclosed publicly at this time) that it would be all but useless.  DOJ now has to submit proposed redactions to the affidavit for the court to consider.

Trump has separately filed a stunningly incompetent new action to challenge the search warrant and ask for a special master to be appointed to review all of the documents taken from mar-a-lago for privilege before they are given to the prosecutorial team.  There are many problems with this, including that the motion should have been filed in the search warrant proceeding and not in a separate proceeding, what he filed was procedurally defective in so many ways that the there is no way a real lawyer had any hand in preparing (people are speculating that Trump forged his attorneys’ signatures and filed it himself), reflects an apparent belief by Trump that he is currently still the president and not a former president, and is too late anyway because he waited two weeks to file this and the taint review process he claims would be inadequate is probably already complete.[/quote]
