Veteran federal judge Raymond Dearie has been named special master in a case involving former President Donald Trump's handling of White House documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The 78-year-old, who is a senior United States district judge for the Eastern District of New York, has been described as "scrupulously fair" following his appointment by Judge Aileen Cannon.
Dearie will review documents seized in an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida on August 8. He was one of the candidates suggested by the former president's legal team and the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not object.
A legal case from almost 30 years ago has re-emerged since Dearie's appointment, which some critics of the former president claim raises concerns about his position.
