Involvement seems particularly notable. According to the indictment, he played a key role in what appears to be a Pressure Campaign from trump and his co defendant, Valet Walt Nauta and maralago property manager carlos de oliveira, to delete Security Footage from the club after it was subpoenaed by prosecutors. And now, it sure seems like employee 4 could be talking, it turns out, he is an i. T. Worker for maralago named yuscil taveras. According to one new report, taveras himself received a Target Letter from the department of justice after trump was first indicted in florida. But taveras himself has not yet been indicted, and to be clear, as of now, we do not know if taveras is formally cooperating with jack smiths office. That said, as the Washington Post reports, quote, taveras offered information implicating all three defendants in an alleged conspiracy to cover up evidence.

Good evening from washington. I am mehdi hasan in for chris hayes. Donald trump could end up behind bars next year for conspiracy to obstruct justice. And if he does, it may very well be because of a new testimony by someone identified by the justice department, only as Trump Employee 4.

version of the bush administration. we re going to get into that with mollie hemingway and charlie hurt. but for decades we ve seen members of both parties attack at the core of the america-first agenda. i inherited a nation that had a serious loss of credibility around the world as america first. we ve seen nationalism distorted into nativeism. unrestrained nationalism is the last refuge of those who cannot or will not deliver real progress and opportunity for their own people at home. laura: well, that old regime is gone, and i don t think it s ever coming back, certainly not in the republican party. and now we have some new opportunities and candidates with actual back bones. we know donald trump has one. his anti war record is well-documented. and ron desantis, well, we re going to see more about what he believes on all the issues that we care about as his campaign goes forward. but both have pretty much shown us that their desire is to put america first, american
