‘Privileged’ Mar-a-Lago tranche include Trump legal docs, discussion on pardons

An inadvertently shared log of potentially privileged materials taken from former President Trump’s Florida home includes details of his calls as president, analyses of who should receive pardons, and heaps of records tied to his many legal entanglements.

 

The logs, apparently unsealed in error, were first reported by Bloomberg News, which shared the filing that has since been removed from the court docket.

 

The attachments were designed to illuminate the work of the Justice Department’s “filter team” in an August 30 memo the court unsealed Monday — an effort at the time to convince a Florida judge that no special master was needed to review the potentially privileged material.
