The judge appointed to review the documents planned his first conference on the matter on Tuesday.

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File PhotoNEW YORK, Sept 20 - The U.S. judge appointed to review documents seized last month by the FBI from Donald Trump's Florida home raised doubts on Tuesday about the former president's claim that he should not yet review whether the records were classified or not.
"You did bring a lawsuit," Dearie told Trump's attorney James Trusty after Trusty said the lawyers were "not in a position" to say the former president declassified the documents until they can first review the records. Tuesday's hearing came a day after Dearie circulated a draft plan to both sides on Monday which sought details on documents Trump allegedly declassified.
Federal prosecutors said the special master review ordered by the judge would hinder the government from addressing national security risks and force the disclosure of "highly sensitive materials." In their 40-page filing, Trump's attorneys said the court should not take the Justice Department at its word that the roughly 100 documents in question are in fact still classified, and said the special master should be permitted to review them as a step towards "restoring order from chaos."
