On Thursday, Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith unveiled a bevy of new charges in the ongoing classified documents case.
The Justice Department announced that a “superseding indictment was returned by a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida that adds one defendant and four charges to the prior indictment filed against Donald J. Trump and Waltine Nauta.”
“The superseding indictment adds a new Count charging Trump with one additional count of willful retention of National Defense Information,” the DOJ said. “Carlos de Oliveira, 56, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, has been added to the obstruction conspiracy charged in the original indictment.”
“The superseding indictment also charges Trump, De Oliveira and Nauta with two new obstruction counts based on allegations that the defendants attempted to delete surveillance video footage at The Mar-a-Lago Club in summer 2022,” the DOJ said.
“Finally, the superseding indictment also charges De Oliveira with false statements and representations in a voluntary interview with the FBI on Jan. 13, 2023,” the DOJ added. “De Oliveira has been summoned to appear at 10:30 a.m. on July 31, 2023, in Courtroom #5 at the James L. King Federal Courthouse in Miami.”
Trump accused the Justice Department of “prosecutorial misconduct” in a statement to Fox News.
“It’s election interference at the highest level,” Trump told Fox News Digital just after he learned of the latest indictment. “They’re harassing my company, they’re harassing my family and by far, least importantly of all, they’re harassing me.”
Trump told Fox News Digital that “the charges are ridiculous, and they know it better than anyone.”
“This is prosecutorial misconduct used at a level never seen before,” Trump said. “If I weren’t leading Biden by a lot in numerous polls, and wasn’t going to be the Republican nominee, it wouldn’t be happening. It wouldn’t be happening.”
He added: “But I am way up as a Republican and way up in the general election and this is what you get.”
Trump is also under investigation for allegedly interfering with the peaceful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election.
Jack off smith should be in a hillary bag!
When does Biden go on trial?
Where are the Republicans in all of this harassment? Why are they not in his corner fighting for him?
This is totally out of control and it is purely political and is election interference. Donald Trump is a threat to all the deep state and they are desperate to take him down.
