Dearie, 78-year-old, will make the decision as an independent lawyer if any document exceeds legal limits.
He was proposed by the Trump team and the US Department of Justice has not rejected him.
The former American president is investigating the way he managed classified materials.
Trump representatives have been claiming to have turned all classified materials into Government after the FBI confiscated 33 boxes with more than 11,000 government documents in their midst more than 100 classified.
Justice Department officials have said earlier about documents that Trump kept at his Florida home, that there was a tendency to hide them, within the framework of efforts to prevent FBI investigations.
Authorities believe these documents should have been handed over to the National Archives.
The American presidents must hand over all documents they have in this institution after the mandate ends.
Trump denies any wrongdoing, arguing about how much president he was, has declassified all documents he held in his Florida home.
Earlier this month, a judge has approved the request to Trump's team to appoint such an official.
The appointment of a special official is made for sensitive cases.
Something similar happened when houses and offices of two former Trump lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen, were raided. / REL
