Donald Trump's Florida home was searched as part of an investigation into his handling of classified material
A federal judge has agreed to Donald Trump's demand for an independent lawyer to oversee the case into the former president's handling of classified materials.
Mr Trump had requested the so-called "special master" claiming grounds of attorney-client privilege.
The move is seen by some as a blow to prosecutors, who opposed the move.
It could potentially slow down the justice department's ongoing criminal investigation into Mr Trump.
This is a developing story and updates will follow.
