Trump accused of trying to delete the Mar-a-Lago server and wipe surveillance footage in bombshell new indictment: Ex-President hit with MORE charges and head of club's maintenance is also implicated

Daily Mail  

Former President Donald Trump asked an aide to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage in a bid to wipe evidence in the classified documents investigation, prosecutors charge in a dramatic superseding indictment revealed Thursday. Special Counsel Jack Smith's team of prosecutors has piled additional charges into the 32-count indictment the former president was already facing – and another Trump aide has now been charged with conspiracy in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. The news came on a day former President Donald Trump's lawyers met with the special counsel's prosecutors to discuss the January 6 case, according to Trump. The developments in the Mar-a-Lago case came on a day when a separate January 6 investigation has been advancing Walt Nauta, a valet to former President Donald Trump, has already been charged with conspiracy Trump called the new indictment a 'desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family,' although the White House said again Thursday that the Justice Department is independent.
