Former President Donald Trump was hit Thursday night with three new criminal charges in addition to the ones he already faced related to his retaining classified documents at his Florida residence after leaving the White House.
Trump is accused in a new superseding indictment with his valet, Walt Nauta, of an attempt to delete video surveillance foot at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida during the summer of 2022, when federal officials were seeking the return of government records they suspected of being kept at that location.
Also Thursday, a third defendant was added to the case against Trump and Nauta, as part of the new indictment in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
The new defendant, Carlos de Oliveira, is the head of maintenance at Mar-a-Lago.
The new charges against Trump include an additional count of willful retention of national defense information and two new counts of obstruction against both him and Nauta.
De Oliveira, 56, was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, altering destroying, mutilating a document, and false statements.

what could they possibly be deleting...and says....tried...
The issue, if I am understanding the charges, is they attempted to delete video after notice of subpoena to save all material, yadda yadda. Thus the obstruction charge.
Plus don’t forget they dropped some charged against DNC donor Bankman-Fraud today too.
Honestly don’t care anymore they could indict trump 10 zillion times and it wouldn’t matter to me everyone knows dems can do whatever they damn well please and get away with it
The gov abusing our President because they want him gone.. they are afraid of him.
They bring charges against parents who abuse.
But its ok for gov to abuse and treat all who they dont like.. as bad as it takes.
They have lost all reasoning.....
This should be worth another 8 points to DJT’s polling numbers.
Thanks.. it does say ‘tried.’ I don’t know about you but I rarely fail when I ‘try’ to delete something... Wonder how they arrived at that?
He should realize, just like most expert legal analysts have suggested, that he cannot wage a legal and political war at the same time.
So far, Trump has chosen to go the political defense route, as evidenced by his constant attacks on the DOJ special prosecutor as “deranged” and regular misquoting what the Presidential Records Act actually says.
As his unfavorables among the American electorate are already at -60%, with little chance of improving, this appears to be an ignorant plan.
I love how the whole “Biden had files in his garage” has just fallen down the rabbit hole.
Greg Kelly pointed out one day that they only found 600 pages of classified material, which is about a ream of paper. All those boxes are pictured to make it look like he has a horde of classified documents.
(((YAWN))) More far-left feces dumped into the so-called “justice system”. Lawyers suck.
Yeah.. we are probably near to locking in his max... I’d say that’s about 70% of registered GOP.
When does lawfare become warfare?
Asking for a friend...
The people around us (Dems) know he is not guilty. They know he never endangered anyone with documents for some scheme.
These clowns are playing this all wrong.
Yeah... Greg Kelly has been doing excellent reporting on all this.... I picked up watching him again after Tucker got fired.
Now we are Chad. Or Gabon. Or Equatorial Guinea.
Or just drain the deep state at the same time.
Or is it time to get a ham radio?
Its a media campaign...weaponization of law enforcement...once Trump become nominee are cases should be suspended to after the election.
