Trump Staffer Questioned About Surveillance Footage

May 30, 2023 at 9:52 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“A Mar-a-Lago employee who helped move boxes of documents last June has been questioned about his conduct weeks later related to a government demand for surveillance footage from Donald Trump’s property,” the Washington Post reports.

“The employee’s actions in June and July have caught the attention of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators as they try to determine whether Trump or people close to him sought to obstruct justice in the face of a grand jury subpoena to return all documents marked classified, or lied about what happened.”
