Trump opposes DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago special master candidates but doesn’t say why

(CNN)Former President Donald Trump opposes the Justice Department’s two proposed candidates to be the special master overseeing a review of evidence that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago last month, he told a federal judge on Monday.

But the Trump team declined to give its reasons for objecting to the pair — retired federal judges Barbara Jones and Thomas Griffith — at this time.

“Plaintiff objects to the proposed nominees of the Department of Justice. Plaintiff believes there are specific reasons why those nominees are not preferred for service as Special Master in this case,” the Trump lawyers wrote.
