Federal Investigators Exposed to Potentially Privileged Trump Information May Still Be Working on Case

Federal agents who are investigating former President Donald Trump may still be working on the case despite being exposed to potentially privileged information, according to a new court filing.

The U.S. government employed what's known as a filter team, composed of Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, to enter Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in August ahead of other agents, on what's being referred to as the investigative team, and take control of all materials judged to potentially fall under attorney-client privilege.

The team identified approximately 520 documents that could be privileged, but missed other materials, according to a sealed court filing that was discussed in a recent court hearing.

In one instance, an investigator saw a letterhead with the name of a firm and turned over the item to the filter team, Benjamin Hawk, the lawyer in charge of the filter team, told the court during the hearing. In another instance, an investigator identified a document "that could potentially include privileged information," he said.
