snip:
Donald Trump got the court-ordered review he wanted of documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago home as well as his preferred pick for a so-called special master to carry it out. But less than a month in, the former president has complaints about how that review is taking shape.

(28,817 posts)Trump objected to Dearies request that his legal team verify the governments inventory of what exactly agents seized during the August search, how Dearie had categorized the privilege issues hed be looking for, and the judges request for briefing on certain questions of law.
His legal team also shared new details about the volume of materials seized by FBI agents from Trumps post-presidency home in Florida, writing in a separate letter to Dearie that they recently learned from the Justice Department attorneys that the roughly 11,000 documents actually tallies about 200,000 pages. The seized materials include a mix of government records, press clippings, books, and other documents, according to the governments public inventory logs.
In dueling letters to Dearie on Wednesday, Trumps lawyers and the Justice Department took verbal swipes at each other and assigned blame for a delay in finding a vendor to perform the critical task of turning the hard copy documents into shareable electronic versions. The exchange marked a tense beginning to a review process expected to last at least another two months.

(1,789 posts)With all the delays, the press coverage is mainly about the back and forth in court filings. We are nowhere closer to finding out why he had all this stuff. Was it stuff he was supposed to read as president and just said, "throw it in a box, I'll read it later"? More likely, it was a combination of A) Things he cherished because he thought it made him look good; B) Thing he was hiding because it made him look bad; C) Juicy secrets that he could leverage for money and / or favors.
