Lindsey Halligan followed by Jim Trusty, part of former U.S. President Donald Trumps legal team, leave the Paul G. Rogers Federal Building and Courthouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 1, 2022. - An increasingly high-stakes standoff between Donald Trump and federal investigators lands in court, after days of headline-grabbing revelations surrounding highly classified documents seized by the FBI from the former president's Florida home. Trump's lawyers are asking that an outside party -- a "special master" -- be named to reassess the government's screening of sensitive documents to determine if any were "highly personal information" that should be returned or protected by claims of privilege.
