Former President Trump is facing additional charges on new allegations in the Justice Department's prosecution over classified documents in Florida.
Former President Trump faces additional charges in the federal case related to his handling of classified documents, with a superseding indictment filed Thursday in a Florida federal court alleging that he tried to destroy surveillance video at his Mar-a-Lago estate last year.
The 60-page indictment outlines a 24-minute phone call between Trump and De Oliveira on June 23, 2022, the day after the former president learned the subpoena was forthcoming. It also details a clandestine trip Nauta is accused of taking to Mar-a-Lago, and pressure De Oliveira allegedly placed on an unnamed IT employee by indicating that “the boss” wanted the server containing the security video to be wiped clean.
The indictment also recounts August 2022 conversations between Nauta and another unidentified Trump employee about whether De Oliveira was “loyal,” and a phone call from Trump to De Oliveira in which the ex-president told the Mar-a-Lago employee that he’d get him an attorney. Trump, who is again seeking the Republican presidential nomination, pleaded not guilty in June to 37 felony charges, including more than 30 violations of the Espionage Act, in connection with his handling of classified documents and alleged attempts to prevent the government from recovering them. Nauta has also pleaded not guilty on charges of making false statements and conspiring to obstruct justice.
