Revelatory moments from the 90-minute Mar-a-Lago special master hearing

A hearing Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida, was the first chance former President Donald Trump's lawyers had to convince US District Judge Aileen Cannon in person that the FBI search warrant on Mar-a-Lago for government records, including those identified as classified, was unwarranted and merited an outside attorney to review the case.

Trump is asking for Cannon to appoint a special master a third party attorney tasked with filtering out privileged documents to review the materials that were seized.In revelatory moments of the hearing.

Trump's lawyers sought to downplay the importance of the documents, the Justice Department provided new details about how its internal filter team operated, and Cannon repeatedly asked Trump's side what a special master would do in this circumstance.
