A witness in the criminal case against Donald Trump over the hoarding of classified documents retracted a “prior false testimony” after switching lawyers last month and provided new information that implicated the former president, the Justice Department has said.
The statements from the witness, a Trump staffer identified in court papers as the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago, were presented to prosecutors weeks before Special Counsel Jack Smith secured an updated indictment accusing Trump and two others in a plot to delete surveillance video at the Florida property.
