Surveillance video images have surfaced showing a man moving boxes around June of 2022, following a subpoena issued to former President Trump to produce documents. The government alleges that the individual, identified as NADA, was directed by the former president to relocate classified documents to prevent their discovery by Trump's lawyer during a search.
As a result of these findings, Judge Beryl Howell in Washington has mandated Evan Corcoran, a former lawyer for Trump, to furnish information and documents to the prosecution. Howell's ruling cited substantial evidence indicating that Trump utilized Corcoran as a conduit to impede the government's investigation and maintain control over the withheld documents.
The judge invoked the crime fraud exception, compelling Corcoran to cooperate with the prosecution due to the compelling evidence of obstruction. These developments precede a scheduled hearing in Fort Pierce, where the defense aims to challenge the admissibility of evidence obtained during the investigation involving NADA, the co-defendants, and the former president.
The defense team, representing NADA and the co-defendants, along with Trump, is poised to contest the prosecution's case during the upcoming hearing. The legal proceedings promise to be intriguing as both sides present their arguments before the court.
