A Trump employee who monitored security cameras at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate abruptly retracted his earlier grand jury testimony and implicated Trump and others in obstruction of justice just after switching from an attorney paid for by a Trump political action committee to a lawyer from the federal defender’s office in Washington, prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday.
What’s even better is that the same lawyer, Stanley Woodward, is also representing another key witness and Trump lackey Walt Nauta. Which could mean that if Taveras testifies that Woodward mislead or coerced him into falsifying parts of his testimony in order to protect Trump, it could also call into question the legitimacy of Nauta’s testimony. It’s bad news for Trump on multiple levels.
Ohhhhh that’s why Jack Smith was making it so very very clear to Nauta that he has a right to an independent attorney.
