Trump Faces MORE Charges In Documents Case

[Rate This]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is facing accusations that he and aides asked a staffer to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct the classified documents investigations.

The allegations were made Thursday in an updated grand jury indictment that adds new charges against Trump and adds another defendant to the case.

A Trump spokesperson dismissed the new charges as “nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt” by the Biden administration “to harass President Trump and those around him” and to influence the 2024 presidential race.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A third defendant has been charged alongside former President Donald Trump and his valet in the classified documents case in Florida, court records show.

The charges against the individual, identified on the court docket as Carlos De Oliveira, were not immediately revealed Thursday.

Trump and valet Walt Nauta were charged last month by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith in a 38-count indictment with conspiring to hide classified documents at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, from government investigators who were demanding them back.

The records were taken by Trump to the Palm Beach complex after he left the White House in January 2021.

Both men have pleaded not guilty.

Copied from the AP App. It’ll be interesting to see the nature of the extra counts and how many there are.

I don't believe that. Donald Trump is an upstanding citizen of the highest order and would never do anything so slimy.

Either way, what about the time Bill Clinton....yadda yadda yadda...Barack Obama blah blah blah...you know the drill.

The prosecution better not fuck this up because you are simply adding fuel to the MAGA fire otherwise. As it is, they may burn Washington down even if Trump gets probation.

Truth is, this was a brilliant move by Smith. Knowledge and Intent are the toughest nut to crack on a case like this. It's exceptionally difficult to prove one or both. Smith just proved both. These were not rouge employees who dreamed up a way to do the boss a solid. They were directed by Trump (knowledge) to circumvent a court order to return the documents (intent). Period.

I don't think Smith is done. He may bring other charges that go to Trump's credibility as a defendant. If he keeps lobbing grenades that keep the notion that Trump is an unrepentant liar, that his and his legal team's words aren't to be trusted that's got to help when the jury begins their duties. There are a lot of things that can go haywire in the case but Jack Smith's ability to construct a vigorous prosecution ain't one of 'em.

So it’s one count of violating the Espionage Act for showing off the Iran document in Bedminster and 2 counts of obstruction of justice that have been added.
