A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing.

Yuscil Taveras, the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Florida, changed his testimony last month about efforts to delete security camera video at the club after he changed from a lawyer paid for by Trump’s Save America PAC to a public defender, Tuesday’s filing says.

    This is how criminal conspiracies work.

    The little guys are asked by the big guy to lie, but some flip to save their own skin.

    Stop trying to normalize Trump’s lawlessness.

      These mafia tactics don’t belong in politics. I’m glad they recognized the guy was being forced to perjury.
