Reactions and takeaways have begun to develop after the Trump Mar-a-Lago filing over a “special master.” While left-leaning articles focus on critiques of Trump, right-leaning articles focus on statements from Trump about the filing.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting on how the filing came after Trump’s legal team requested courts to appoint a “special master” to review the seized documents. The article notes the following five takeaways: increased investigations into obstruction, the impact of a photo of all the seized documents, increased intrigue about the secret sources, intense response about claims of privilege, and a response from Trump.
A left-leaning article from The Washington Post discusses how prosecutors are investigating obstruction – prosecutors wrote that “records were likely concealed and removed” and “efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.” It is still neither clear why Trump took these documents nor is there evidence that Trump declassified them beforehand.
A right-leaning article from Fox News discusses how Trump slammed the DOJ’s filing opposing the appointment of a “special master.” Trump said that the FBI “during the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see. Thought they wanted them kept Secret? Lucky I Declassified!”
