The supplement the court ordered finally did get filed late here on a Friday night. I won’t go into any detail, as it is a mess of internal contradictions, and cites to no statute or rule to create jurisdiction, or a civil cause of action (which is what it inartfully, impotently… purports to do).
In sum, it is even more embarrassing than the original. Asked to explain what relief the court might offer, the filing cites a case in New York, in which THE GOVERNMENT’s right to a special master was recognized (without discussing jurisdiction, since that was already established in that suit).

Q.: Does Tangerine think he is (still) in “the government”?! He is an entirely ordinary jamoke now. In a felony criminal matter, where a judicial warrant issued in another court on full probable cause, the sole proper venue for the target to contest the idea of a getting a special master appointed… is before the court that issued the warrant.
Trump chose not to do that, claiming falsely that no US Magistrate has the power to appoint a special master. That is… poppy-cock. He cites no local or federal rule that even remotely suggests such a thing.
But he does admit that the US Magistrate’s proceeding is now essentially over, in 22-mj-8332 (also in the USDC SDFL) — since the affidavit has been released, as well as the memos of law, and the warrant itself.
So — his attempts at political grand-standing, and ultimately… forum shopping are nearly at an end, now. Look for a dismissal as a matter of law, once the real government is served and responds with a motion to strike.
