(Reuters) - Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are resisting a federal judge's instruction to submit a sworn declaration on whether they believe the government's list of property taken from Trump's Florida estate is accurate.
According to a letter publicly filed by Trump's lawyers on Wednesday, the former president's legal team told Senior U.S. Judge Raymond Dearie, who is reviewing the materials taken in the federal raid of the Florida property, that they don't believe Dearie has the authority to require them to make such a filing.
The former president has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the FBI planted evidence.
The Trump lawyers' letter, dated Sept. 25, says the order by another federal judge appointing Dearie to conduct the outside review of the materials only requires that the government file a declaration on the accuracy of the inventory list, and not Trump.

If Trump wont back up his specious claims, he needs to drop his dishonest civil suit.

(70,488 posts)Didn't these exact same lawyers also request Judge Dearie to be the special master and oversee
the handling of the documents that were seized @ Merde a Logo by the FBI after a lawful search
warrant was issued?
Judge Dearie didn't come to play. And Trump and his lawyers fucked around and found that out.
Judge Dearie is an old school Judge who is guided by the rule of law and Trump broke the law
by stealing those documents, then by lying about having them, and lying to the FBI/DoJ about
returning them to NARA.

(1,789 posts)Or does this set the stage for exactly that? Do coke dealers get to drag out trials by quibbling over how much coke was seized? This case is so open and shut that the jurors should be publishing tell-all books by now.
