Trump not required to provide sworn declaration that FBI ‘planted’ evidence

Judge rules ex-president does not have to confirm under oath insinuations until his lawyers have reviewed seized materials

A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump would not have to provide a sworn declaration that the FBI supposedly planted" some of the highly-sensitive documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort, as he has suggested, until his lawyers have reviewed the seized materials.

The order from US district court judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the special master case and is a Trump appointee, also pushed back several key interim deadlines that consequently extends the review's final date of completion from the end of November to mid-December.
