The Justice Department is accusing former President Trump of attempting to delete surveillance footage at his Mar-a-Lago property in a new superseding indictment filed in the classified records case on Thursday.

DOJ says Trump acted with a new co-conspirator to try to delete the footage, and also charged him with an additional Espionage Act charge.

The superseding indictment brings to 42 the total number of counts facing the former president.

It accuses Trump of acting with Carlos de Oliveira, the property manager of the hotel, and Trump’s other co-defendant Walt Nauta, with trying to delete the footage.

The indictment notes efforts from de Oliveira, 56, to determine how long security footage was stored on the Mar-a-Lago system. It says he later told another Mar-a-Lago employee that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted.”

The indictment also described de Oliveira and Nauta organizing their plans secretly, apparently walking among the bushes around the IT office where the security footage was managed.

The indictment notes calls between Trump and de Oliveira and also details a later discussion over his loyalty and ensuring that the property manager would get an attorney.

De Oliveira has been summoned to appear in court in Miami on Monday.

The indictment accuses De Oliveira of lying to investigators about his involvement in moving boxes at the property, saying he “never saw anything,” relating to boxes moving in and out of the storage room.

The indictment also adds a thirty-second document to the tally for which Trump is facing charges of violating the Espionage Act, a top secret document on a presentation about military activity in a foreign country.

The superseding indictment comes as a Washington grand jury met in another special counsel probe into Trump’s efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

In a statement after the release of the indictment, the Trump campaign called the filing “nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him.”

“Deranged Jack Smith knows that they have no case and is casting about for any way to salvage their illegal witch hunt and to get someone other than Donald Trump to run against Crooked Joe Biden,” the statement said.

They're just going to fabricate one thing after another and pretend it's the worst thing in the world while actual hard-core corruption is rampant and fully documented.


F this country for allowing this to happen.

Most security systems wipe footage after a short period of time unless flagged for backup.

My guess is that “trying to delete it” is “they requested it be preserved right before the time it gets automatically wiped.”

We have a foreign agent in the White House selling influence to foreign powers and the DOJ is telling us "nothing to see here".


But meanwhile they are throwing process crimes at the guy who would never sell out America or her people.

I really wish we had a better facepalm emoji here, because this calls for a giant facepalm

I'd really like to expand on the whole "sneaking around bushes" part

I’m patiently waiting to see the security footage of Biden’s garage where he kept top secret documents.

Well, that’s double hearsay so that’s not coming in.

The rest they have to support this:

Asking how long the data is saved can be to save information as opposed to delete it.

People walking by bushes.

Telling a person I’ll make sure you have a lawyer if you get railroaded.

That’s what evidence they have that he “tried” to delete evidence? I mean he didn’t even do it, they are just saying he tried?

Just like every other nonsense charge against him, you have to turn your brain off for it to make any sense

Another shiny object to flood the news cycle in an effort to distract the pea brained democrats attention away from doj corruption in the Hunter Biden misdemeanor plea deal that was meant to grant immunity to federal fara / gun / Ukrainian collusion crimes.

Wait, he tried to delete the security system in his private house? Unless that footage was in a search warrant (meaning the courts said it was evidence), there’s nothing wrong with doing so, huh?
