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.
Sorry I’m lost. Why is this huge? Especially in relation to this bit of news, which seems to contradict:

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