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.

Something about draining the pool to destroy records. Makes perfect sense. Every pool drain leads to a place where classified documents are stored.

Biden should go ahead and jail Trump. No need for a trial.
It’ll go hot in a heartbeat.

They are saying he had his people delete video from Mar-qa-lago security footage to obstruct the investigation.

Trump needs to just serve his current role as “flak” and try to defend himself, verses trying to run for President at the same time. Trying to do both will only result in failure at both.

So he should give his enemies exactly what they want? Sounds like a plan.

Is there a requirement for video surveillance for Pres. documents at all times? Did Joe Biden have video surveillance in his garage?

Good question. I think they are guessing at the intention behind the deletion of the video (if it happened, and if it happened it was Trump’s people that deleted it).
