Trump hit with THREE MORE charges in classified documents case – and is accused of trying to delete surveillance footage: Mar-a-Lago head of maintenance also charged in bombshell development
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team has piled additional charges into former President Donald Trump’s indictment – and another Trump aide has been charged in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
Carlos De Oliveira, Mar-a-Lago’s head of maintenance, has been named as the third defendant alongside the former president and his valet Walt Nauta.
In addition, prosecutors are piling more charges on former President Donald Trump. They are additional charges related to obstruction of justice and willful retention of national defense information. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team added them to the existing indictment Thursday evening.
Trump was hit with a 37-count indictment in June.
According to one passage in the superseding indictment filed Thursday, De Oliveira ‘told Trump Employee 4 that their conversation should remain between the two of them.’
It continued: ‘De Oliveira told Trump Employee 4 that “the boss” wanted the server deleted.”
The news came on a day former President Donald Trump’s lawyers met with special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors
De Oliveira is believed to have helped Nauta helped move boxes of sensitive files around the private club after the Department of Justice subpoenaed Trump.
Nauta continues to work for Trump, and is facing charges of conspiring to withhold classified information from the government. He pleaded not guilty in federal court in Miami earlier this month.
The specific charges against DecOliveira were not immediately clear.
The news came on a day former President Donald Trump’s lawyers met with special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors.
The developments in the Mar-a-Lago case came on a day when a separate January 6 investigation has been advancing
Walt Nauta, a valet to former President Donald Trump, has already been charged with conspiracy
Nauta had been considered the type of witness prosecutors might try to ‘flip’ to gain testimony against Trump. But instead he has remained in Trump’s employ, and prosecutors charged the former valet.
The stunning news came on a day when eyes have been on the January 6 case, where Trump has received a target letter from prosecutors related to that case, in Washington, D.C.
