FOCUS: On Trump and secret documents: Is he the Manchurian candidate?

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist |  Former Attorney General William Barr stated the above regarding U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s recent decision to appoint a “special master” to screen the multitude of top-secret documents found at former President Trump’s residence at Mar-A Lago. It is no accident that Trump’s attorneys sought out a Trump-appointed judge, someone who decided to appoint a special master without ever having seen the confidential documents in question herself.
