Justice Department prosecutors wrote in a special filing late Monday they would accept one of the Trump attorney’s two candidates for special master in the Mar-a-Lago government document case, former New York chief federal judge Raymond J. Dearie, The Wall Street Journal reports. They also supported DOJ’s two candidates in the filing; retired federal judges Barbara S. Jones and Thomas B. Griffith. 

But Trump attorneys earlier Monday continued to argue against a pause in Federal District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ruling calling for a federal master and preventing the FBI from examining the documents in the interim, CQ Roll Call reports. Trump’s attorneys dispute whether the documents are classified.
