They had no choice, in my view, but to go in and take them, because of the nature of the documents.” This has been 16 months that the Department of Justice has been saying please, asking nicely, negotiating with his attorneys, taking up partial production, seeing a non-response to a subpoena. “It’s not only the nature of the documents. And I think the idea that some of these documents are somehow attorney-client privilege is going to be a bit of a reach … So I think, for one, I think the DOJ probably has a pretty good chance on appeal.”Ĭhristie on Sunday also defended the DOJ’s much-critiqued move to search Mar-a-Lago and seize the materials, saying the department “had no choice.” “Biden will not assert executive privilege over these documents. They’re not the executive any longer,” Christie said Sunday. A previous executive can’t assert executive privilege. “There’s only one executive who can assert the privilege, and that’s the one who is the current executive, Joe Biden. The Trump team had argued for the special master, alleging some seized documents were protected by executive privilege, and the Trump-appointee judge overseeing the case granted the request, preventing the DOJ from moving forward with its own review of the materials. “I think the Justice Department’s chances are pretty good,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.” Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said the Department of Justice (DOJ) has “a pretty good chance” in its appeal of an order for a special master to look over the documents seized by the FBI at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
