Donald Trump’s former employee and a key witness gets a new lawyer and flips on Trump with recanting of previous false testimony taken in the special counsel Jack Smith’s case on classified documents mishandling. J
“The director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago recanted previous “false testimony” in special counsel Jack Smith’s case on former President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents after switching lawyers and learning of possible perjury charges, according to prosecutors.
The witness — described in a Justice Department court filing on Tuesday as “Trump Employee 4” and identified by several media outlets as Yuscil Taveras — has provided prosecutors with information regarding alleged efforts to delete surveillance camera footage taken at the 77-year-old former president’s Palm Beach, Fla., club and residence.
“When Trump Employee 4 testified before the grand jury in the District of Columbia in March 2023, he repeatedly denied or claimed not to recall any contacts or conversations about the security footage at Mar-a-Lago,” the DOJ’s court filing states.”
