An IT manager was asked to delete surveillance footage at Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department alleged. That footage was alleged to show Donald Trump's aide moving boxes of classified documents. The IT manager struck a cooperation deal and testified before a federal grand jury. A cooperation agreement generally requires an individual to assist a criminal investigation in exchange for not being prosecuted. The indictment alleges that De Oliveira, Mar-a-Lago's property manager, told Taveras — identified in court papers as "Trump Employee 4" — that "the boss" wanted surveillance footage deleted.

"Trump Employee 4" had initially been represented by a lawyer paid for by a Trump political action committee. Nauta is represented by Stanley Woodward, who previously repped Trump Employee 4, and prosecutors said that Woodward's continued presence in the case could also mark a conflict of interest. AdvertisementAdvertisement"Advising Trump Employee 4 to correct his sworn testimony would result in testimony incriminating Mr. Woodward's other client, Nauta; but permitting Trump Employee 4's false testimony to stand uncorrected would leave Trump Employee 4 exposed to criminal charges for perjury," prosecutors said in the filing. AdvertisementAdvertisementIn the latest development, federal prosecutors said that they plan to call on Taveras to describe the pressure campaign to delete security footage. "The Government anticipates calling Trump Employee 4 as a trial witness and expects that he will testify to conduct alleged in the superseding indictment regarding efforts to delete security footage," prosecutors wrote.

☆ Trump probably won't win his $50 million lawsuit against Bob Woodward with experts saying the suit 'turns the First Amendment on its head'
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +9 min

Former President Trump claims he owns the audio rights to interviews conducted by Bob Woodward. But legal experts say it's unlikely a court will agree with Trump, who claims he's owed $50 million. "The case centers on Mr. Woodward's systematic usurpation, manipulation, and exploitation of audio of [former] President Trump," states the complaint, filed with a federal court in Florida. The audiobook didn't go on sale for another two years — after, Woodward says, he decided its release served the public interest. "Filing a lawsuit over publishing those interviews turns the First Amendment on its head."

Former President Donald Trump sued famed journalist Bob Woodward on Monday over the release of audio recordings of his interviews with Trump, who claims he never agreed to allow those tapes to be sold to the public. The suit seeks $50 million or more which it says is based on an estimate that the audiobook, "The Trump Tapes," sold more than two million copies at $24.99 apiece. Woodward then "decided to exploit, usurp, and capitalize upon President Trump's voice by releasing the Interview Sound Recordings of their interviews with President Trump in the form of an audiobook," the complaint alleges. Woodward interviewed Trump over the phone and in person 19 times between December 2019 and August 2020, according to the lawsuit. Trump sued Woodward, who is one-half of the legendary reporting duo that reported on the Nixon-era Watergate scandal, as he ramps up his 2024 presidential campaign.
