Special Masters look at evidence seized from lawyer's offices for documents that contain lawyer-client privileged information. It's very unlikely that such documents would be classified, since the lawyer would need a security clearance. There may be such documents among the seized, and the FBI has said their team has already sorted out several. They could just give those back to Trump, since they would contain no national defense information. We are dealing with a Venn diagram here with two different circles, that do not touch each other!
Trump et al's claim of executive privilege is nonsense: The Supreme Court has already said "Executive Privilege" resides in the Executive Branch, AKA President Biden, and he has said executive privilege does not apply to anything seized. If Trump raises an objection of executive privilege in court, the judge will tell him it does not apply to ex-presidents.

Keep in mind, this Trump appointed judge made a prelim ruling last Saturday without hearing the DoJs side AND she gave the DoJ ‘til the end of day Tuesday for a reply when they hadn’t even been served. The woman does not have the right judicial temperament to even be on the bench.
Having stated the above, I doubt the woman would issue such a point on Executive Privilege. My money is on her ruling in favor of Trump again on this issue.
I suspect the DOJ would appeal her appointment. The appeals court judges might be conservative, but they aren't morons. I doubt they would approve of a Special Master who isn't a FISA judge or a retired FISA judge. They also could say she is out of her jurisdiction, and all such cases have to be adjudicated in Washington, DC.
In the far-away land of Mar-A-Lago sits a once-vaunted leader, now brought very low. His voice, once ubiquitous, lordly, and loud has become but a whimper, no longer so proud. The cameras have vanished, the crowds have all shrunk, as he scrambles for donors, this has-been, fallen punk.
And then come his lawyers, with news of a guest, A visit unlooked for, unwelcomed, unblessed.
“You must return those stolen docs. You must return them, yes, every box.”
“I do not have a box of docs, and they are mine, you lying fox.”
But then they came and then they found docs aplenty. . .
One doc, two docs red docs, blue docs Docs TOPSECRET/SCI Docs with pictures from on high Docs with covers, docs with stamps, Docs in files marked “terror camps” Docs from spies and docs from techs Docs ’bout planes on navy decks Docs on armies, docs on friends Docs on missiles, docs on end!
“There’s only one president at-a-time, you see, and you are not it, quite obviously. You’ve filed lots of lawsuits and lost every one and Biden, not you, is the one who has won.
The law is quite clear: these docs are ours. You have no magic, no pixie dust powers. You cannot claim them, nor take them home, they belong to us, not you alone. You must return those stolen docs. You must return them, yes, every box.
We’ll come to you, or you to us. You can return them on a bus. You can return them on a train. You can return them on a plane. You can return them at your house. You can return them with a mouse. You must return those stolen docs. You must return them, yes, every box.”
“But I want them, because they are mine! and you cannot have them – don’t cross that line!”
“Boxes of documents, boxes of pics, Boxes of letters – be sure there’re no tricks! We’ll carefully pack them and give you a list (It *will* be redacted, but we’ll give you the gist) We’ll guard them as well as the law says we must. We’ll guard them much better than you have, we trust.
For crimes have been crimed, as we have deducted: espionage, theft, and justice obstructed. The proof, we believe, will emerge box by box from rooms where you’ve kept them without any locks. The charges will follow, and names will be named and soon the guilty in court will be blamed."
Yes...one-third of Republicans want a fascist strongman dictator and have chosen an incompetent, immoral, corrupt, lying, failure-in-life named Donald Trump as that person.
