transcript. whether he now faces more heat that changes his mind we ve seen before, that s how far in he is, the person you see on your screen, not well-known but long loyal military aide and personal aide to donald trump in the post-presidency. i want to read some more from this. we have so much new material with regard to katy s point that donald trump has long avoided texts and emails, but he hasn t stopped everyone else from using them on his behalf. here you have january 13th, 2022, the doj reading from page 19 says nauta texted trump employee 2 about trump personally, quote, trackingboxes, he s tracking the boxes, more to follow today on whether he wants to go through more today or tomorrow. nauta writes to another anonymous employee, trump employee 2 in the indictment, one thing he asked was for new covers for the boxes. can we get new box covers before giving them out on monday, and the employee replies, yes, i will get that. this is contemporaneous, this is real. the
it denoted that the information in the document was releasable only to the five eyes intelligence alliance consisting of australia, canada, new zealand, the united kingdom and the united states. nauta texted trump employee number 2, i opened the door and found this. nauta also attached two photographs he took of the spill, here we have them up on the screen now. trump employee number 2 replied, oh, no, oh, no, and i m sorry potus had my phone. one of the photographs which is interesting, we can get into. that, one of the photos is depicted below with the visible classified information redacted. trump s unlawful retention of this document is charged in count 8 of the indictment. description of photo number 6, boxes stacked against the wall. we ll show this to you as well. here it is, on november 12th, 2021, trump employee 2 provided trump a photograph of his boxes in the storage room by taping it to one of the boxes that trump
who we know was making these tapes, right? of course i just want to point out according to the doj they re not naming him by name, but they say, quote, trump attempted to persuade trump attorney 1 to hide documents from a federal grand jury. then the conspiracy, trump and nauta mislead trump attorney 1 by moving boxes that contained the classification markings so that trump attorney 1 wouldn t find the documents and produce them to a federal grand jury. i d love, andrew for you to walk us through that. that brings us back to here. again, that s the allegation and they were hiding, they were saying the stuff, the drugs, the contraband in this room, we re going to hide it first from our own lawyers and then from the feds. that s pretty bad. so obstruction is kind of a big thing obviously here. and you just really have gone through it well. i want to get back to cipa at risk of being confusing with all the legal jargon. if you can t show a jury the
office and his storage room at the mar-a-lago club 102 more documents with classification markings. so are from the year after he left office when they turned over 15 boxes and 197 documents, they subsequently found on june 3rd, 38 more and on august 8th under court authorized search warrant, 102 more. if we go back to the spilled photo and we talk about what was redacted in the classified document there, the one who was supposed to only be seen by five eyes, our closest allies. you can see in a photo of trump in a gaggle, there s one black line across the document. that presumably is the document that fell out of that box that is described in the indictment and included here. i do think that i want to go back to robert ray because robert, you re talking about how this is the prosecution s it s not the wish list, but it is the prosecution s argument here. it is their best argument for
a charge conspiracy, where if they get him on the stand they would expect trump attorney the trump attorney here, trump attorney 1 to say i memorialized it because i worried it was criminal. that s why i started making tapes, and yes, he was asking us to commit crimes. these are now charged crimes today. absolutely. this is why it was such a big deal that they were able to pierce the attorney/client privilege. so we have some more photos. we ve got a couple more, we re loading them into the television right now, but i to have one of my phone, i m not sure if you guys can zoom in enough to see it. it is a photo of spilled documents in the storage room, and the description of the photo i ll give you here, this is courtesy of mike cozy nar, on december 7th, 2021, nauta found several of trump s boxes fallen and their contents spilled onto the floor of the storage room, including a document marked secret, 14 to usa, fev, which i m sure andrea can translate.
