WASHINGTON -The Justice Department has completed its review of potentially privileged documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate this month and has identified “a limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information,” according to a court filing Monday.

The filing from the department follows a judge’s weekend order indicating that she was inclined to grant the Trump legal team’s request for a special master who would oversee the review of documents taken during the Aug. 8 search of the Mar-a-Lago estate and ensure that any that might be protected by claims of legal privilege be set aside.

In revealing that the department had completed its review of potentially privileged communications, law enforcement officials appeared to be suggesting that the appointment of a third-party special master might now be moot. The department had been relying on a specialized team to filter out potentially privileged communications and said Monday that it had completed its review of those materials before the judge’s order.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said on Saturday that it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint a special master — which would be an early procedural win for the Trump legal team — but gave the department an opportunity to respond and scheduled a Thursday hearing to discuss the matter further.

The judge also directed the Justice Department to submit under seal a more detailed description of the materials that were seized from Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, something the department on Monday said it would do.

Braun Strowman officially returns to WWE RAW.

Braun Strowman formally gets back to WWE RAW by Matty BreischSeptember 5, 2022WWE, Braun Strowman, RAW, Control Your Narrative, Universal Championship WWE fans, I really want to believe that you weren't enthusiastically counting during the time until Control Your Narrative comes to a town close to you, as you may very well be having your ticket discounted not long from now. Why? All things considered, on the grounds that in the wake of watching Karrion Kross escape from CYN to WWE to turn into a consistently present thistle in the side of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strownman has gone with the same pattern, appearing on RAW after purportedly being in converses with return to the organization throughout the course of recent weeks. Everything got going honestly enough, with a four-way, cross-limited time label group match to settle on the main competitor for the WWE Tag Team Championships at present held by The Usos. New Day, Alpha Academy, Los Lotharios, and Street Profits generally advanc...

Serena Williams US Open Retirement

Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It could be the last time we ever get to see the GOAT in action. Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It very well may be the last time we at any point get to see the GOAT in real life. Catch up speedy: Williams, 40, said earlier this month that she plans to "develop away from tennis" after the U.S. Open. Accordingly, each match could be her last. Up first? World No. 80 Danka Kovinić of Montenegro (7pm ET, ESPN). What they're saying: "When Serena was playing in the past, the atmosphere already was electric, so I can't imagine what it'll be out there currently," said seventeenth seed Caroline Garcia. By the numbers: Williams' dominance has been unmatched since winning her first of an Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam titles at this very tournament 23 years ago, when she was only 17. She or...
