I am not a lawyer, but I would imagine that this does not negate the need for a special master. The DOJ may very well have reviewed the documents already to determine what they consider to be attorney-client-privileged information, but since the DOJ is a party to this case and part of the Executive branch, I would think Trump has the right to petition the Court and the Court has the right to give a special master, due to separation of powers and conflict of interest for the DOJ.

Since this is a sting. Trump had nothing in the documents that would harm him.
