and ultimately leading to the mar-a-lago search warrant. nbc news has reached out to the doj, fbi, white house and former president trump spokesperson. we have not received responses yet. here is how jared kushner, the former president s son-in-law and white house advisor reacted. i m not familiar with what exactly the contents were. i think you have to be very careful with what you read and wait for the facts to develop. late yesterday in a move seemingly as political as legal, donald trump s attorneys filed a motion to block the doj from, quote, further review of seized materials until a special master is appointed. joining me now is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. nbc s mark caputo, kim wehle, former associate independent counsel in the white water investigation. glenn kirschner, former federal prosecutor and now an msnbc legal analyst. ken, i believe you have new reporting confirming what was reported by the new york times. walk us thro
