Former U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Monday asking that a federal judge appoint a special watchdog to review documents seized from his Florida home as part of a criminal investigation of the removal of White House records when he left office in January 2021.

Trump's motion also demanded that the Justice Department provide a more detailed property receipt outlining items the FBI seized and asked investigators to return any items outside the scope of the search warrant.
