Donald Trump wants a special master to review the seized materials.
The documents need to be returned so that they can be given to the National Archives.
Before the agency approached the DOJ, the National Archives requested the files.

The Mar-a-Lago Break-in Search and Seizure was illegal and unconstitutional, and we are taking all actions necessary to get the documents back, so that I can give them to them.
The lawsuit was filed by the former president's attorneys on Monday.

The documents were taken by accident and some of them were planted by the FBI.
The Aug. 8 search warrant at Mar-a-Lago was authorized by a federal court, according to Anthony Coley. The Department is aware of what happened tonight. The US will respond in court.
His claim appears to be related to his previous defense regarding former President Barack Obama. The process for transferring White House records was followed in Obama's case.
The fifteenth presidential library was going to be given to Trump. After he left office, the National Archives set up a website, but the plans for the library have been vague.
A spokesman for Trump didn't reply immediately.
