A federal judge on Friday agreed to a prosecutorial request to name a special master in a case against former President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani.

U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken, an Obama nominee, also denied requests from Giuliani and another lawyer, Victoria Toensing, from whom materials were seized to return the materials to them for review.
