Saturday 1 October 2022 08:33 PM Trump lashes out over Mar-a-Lago raid as DoJ says special master ruling is ... trends now
Donald Trump has lashed out once again over the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, as the Justice Department seeks to expedite its appeal challenging the special master appointed to review records seized in the search.
In a post on his Truth Social network on Friday, Trump called the investigation into his handling of government records a 'hoax' and a 'scam' motivated by the desire to 'hurt a political opponent.'
Trump said that the Biden administration is scared that he is 'leading in all the polls' and called Vice President Kamala Harris a 'North Korea sympathizer' in reference to her gaffe on Thursday calling the rogue regime a 'close ally' in remarks intended to refer to South Korea.
While president, Trump himself met twice with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and his self-described 'love letters' to and from the dictator were among the thousands of documents seized in the FBI's August 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago.
The so-called love letters were believed to be one key target in the search, after the National Archives reportedly demanded in vain that Trump's team hand them over.

The FBI seized about 100 classified documents in the search, and is investigating potential violations of laws regarding the handling of presidential records and classified material.
In a court filing late on Friday, the Justice Department called for a speedier resolution to its appeal of the special master, who is reviewing roughly 11,000 unclassified documents for potential attorney-client or executive privilege.
The DOJ said its inability to access the non-classified documents while the review is underway is still hampering significant aspects of its investigation.
The Justice Department is asking the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to order all motions be filed in the case by November 11, and hold any necessary hearing in the case as soon as that briefing is completed.
Trump's lawyers oppose the request,
