Yesterday, special counsel Jack Smith brought additional charges against Trump, including one count of willful retention of national defense information and two obstruction counts after it was revealed that Trump attempted to delete surveillance video footage at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. According to a court filing, Trump employees attempted to delete security footage at the Florida resort and one said “the boss” wanted a server deleted.
“It’s a stunning development,” said former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who is now a CNN legal and national security analyst.
In short, the special counsel is alleging that an ex-president deliberately ‘obstructed and defrauded the government he once led and the rule of law he was sworn to uphold.’
Big stuff.
