Bratt said a prior search conducted by Trump lawyers in June in response to a grand jury did not retrieve all classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Agents \u201cuncovered multiple sources of evidence indicating that the response to the May 11 grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the premises, notwithstanding the sworn certification made to the government on June 3,\u201d Bratt wrote. \u201cIn particular, the government developed evidence that a search limited to the storage room would not have uncovered all the classified documents at the premises.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the \u2018diligent search\u2019 that the former president\u2019s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform,\u201d the filing added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DOJ said the material recovered in the raid \u201ccalls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bratt also called into question claims by the presidents lawyers that his materials can be shielded from the Biden ministration I claims of executive privilege.<\/p>\n<p>A judge is expected to make a ruling on the special master as early as the end of this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden Justice Department late Tuesday told a federal judge it opposes naming a special master to review evidence taken from Donald Trump\u2019s Florida home, alleging there may have been<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1628018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1628018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1628018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1628018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1628018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
