New York Judge Raymond Dearie appointed as special master in Trump Mar-a-Lago case

A former veteran chief federal judge from Brooklyn, New York has been appointed as the special master to review documents seized at former President Trump's Florida estate in Mar-a-Lago.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon appointed Raymond Dearie after Trump requested an independent review of thousands of documents marked classified that were recovered by law enforcement. 

Cannon, a Trump appointee, also refused a Justice Department request to lift her temporary prohibition on the department's use of the roughly 100 classified records that were taken during the Aug. 8 search.
