MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Monday, August 22, 2022 and reports on Donald Trump\u2019s legal team filing a motion to appoint a special master for an extra layer of review over seized documents from Mar-A-Lago. Plus, how recent Trump controversies, including the DOJ reviewing whether his lawyers illegally lied and Rudy Giuliani being formally \u201ctargeted\u201d for charges in Georgia, echo some of the themes in the classic legal film \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Advocate,\u201d such as \u201chow far\u201d lawyers will go for their client and when do they become part of potential crimes they are supposed to defend. \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Advocate\u201d author Andrew Neiderman joins \u201cThe Beat\u201d on the 25th anniversary of the film, along with Chai Komanduri, NYU law professor Melissa Murray and Fmr.
