'Who's gonna flip first?': Ex-prosecutor says new Trump charges put pressure on codefendants
Raw StoryThe recent superseding indictment in the criminal classified documents case against Donald Trump puts his two co-defendants in an awkward position that might encourage them to flip on their boss, according to a former prosecutor. Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti appeared Saturday on MSNBC and suggested that the new filings are confusing for Trump's aides, who might not be aware of each other's movements. Mariotti previously said the indictment against Carlos De Oliveira in the classified documents case may reflect an effort by prosecutors to compel the third person to be indicted in the case to flip on a co-defendant. Mariotti added: "You could say whatever you want about the Presidential Records Act or about declassification, the bottom line is destroying evidence, that's the sort of thing that the average person could get their head around.
