Mara gay. White house editor for politico, sam stein. You saw him on way too early. And the founder of the conservative website, the bulwark, charlie sykes. It is a great group. Thank you for being with us this morning. Well begin the week with the latest on those new charges against former President Donald Trump in the classified documents case. Today, a newly introduced third defendant, the Property Manager at former president s florida home, is scheduled to be arraigned in miami Federal Court. Carlos de oliveira was named in a Superseding Indictment last week and charged in four counts, including conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements to the fbi. According to prosecutors, trump directed both de oliveira and his valet, walt nauta, to destroy Security Camera footage last year from the Room Monitoring where boxes of classified documents were being stored at maralago. That alleged order came just days after the fbi issued a subpoena for that same footage. Its unclear
delay tactic. if hope at best they might get an evidencey hearing. how the boxes were organized this way. whether or not there is something of allegations of bias and improper storage. on on the merits, it doesn t absolve trump of the idea that he willfully retained the documents. he knew he had them in 2022. when he turned stuff over to the archives. he is talking with his lawyers they are telling him to turn it over. we keep finding stuff. it will not ultimately change anything. but it will quite possibly the way judge cannon handles things but it will drag things out a little more. we are at the first anniversary of the mar-a-lago case. anyone s guess whether we get to the second anniversary. bradley moss, thank you for your time tonight. have a good night. that is our show. now it is time for the last word with jonathan who is in for lawrence o donnell. good evening. i would love to know if we are going to have a classified documents case but who knows. prepare
