Former President Trump and his legal team filed a motion Monday evening seeking an independent review of records seized by the FBI during the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Trump has said the raid on his residence ahead of the 2022 midterm elections was a politicized attempt to silence a key Republican voice.
A 27-page document filed in a Florida court has stated that the raids were conducted as part of an effort to prevent Trump from running again for president. It also says that the law should not be used as a weapon for political purposes.

According to the motion filed Monday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Trump and his legal team are seeking an order appointing a special person to review records obtained during the search.
It has been demanded to block the further review of seized materials Until a special person is appointed and to return the items, not within the scope of the government-issued warrant.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a brief statement that relevant individuals and agencies are aware of Trump’s case and will respond to the matter in court. A federal court also said the warrant issued to raid Mar-a-Lago was allowed based on probable cause.

The FBI raided Trump’s Florida estate on August 8 and seized an eleventh set of classified files.
