this. but there s the question of why now. presumably the as referenced in the first indictment, of course, that they were aware of some information, some contact, something, what i m missing here is we likely should be missing it, of course, because that s inherent in the investigation, where is the corroboration coming for? in what instance were the prosecutors tipped off to know that this was, in fact, a false statement? who are the people that may have been around this area? a lot was made about the number of boxes that were located at mar-a-lago. and the relative ease of being able to access. we joked about the notion of it being in bathrooms and beyond, and the sheer number of people who could have been there. but that keeps in mind of who else may have heard the communications or heard about it. according to this document, the prosecutors seem to have access to some of the communications. so for example, you know, here on page 31 of the document it describes that there s a
person that i m able to extract information and maybe cooperation from. all these little easter eggs that are placed throughout this indictment reveal some aspects of it. at the end of the day, this sounds like a world of hurt for somebody who already has so many legal claims swirling around him. and now corroboration in the form of actual alleged elements now we have this document that s just been released by the united states district court, southern district of florida. it s entitled superseding indictment. the grand jury charges and lists all the charges, and it says there is a case involving the united states of america versus donald j. trump, walt naught, and carlos de la vera. so it s a significant development indeed, and there s a lot of information in this document. andrew mccabe is still with us, former deputy director of the fbi. what do you make of this latest allegation that the trump team, that these three individuals
expecting. they have also been talking to other advisers, others lawyers about if there s any other shoes to drop here. but they did learn about this today, essentially at the same time all of us did. they were trying to figure out exactly what was going to happen today. they were on pins and needles trying to read these tea leaves. now they have learned that it is carlos. carlos is somebody who again is represented by a lawyer that is paid for by trump s tickets, they have been watching carefully trying to take care of essentially. weather it comes to legal matters. trying to find out what they feel about all this, reaching touts several advisers, lawyers here trying to get a sense of exactly they think this means for the former president s case, as well. carlos, a maintenance worker down there at mar-a-lago. i know that paula reid is getting new information, as well. what else are you learning? reporter: we learned that this is not just going to be adding a third name to this cri
surveillance tapes? and that is exactly why footage was probably moved. so i think as we look at this in a broad scheme, this answers or tries to answer or may answer a lot of really important and damning questions about the former president s involvement in all of this and the moving of these mar-a-lago and hiding, trying to hide, these mar-a-lago documents. very significant. norm eisen with us, as well. i m reading this document, the super ceding indictment that came out with a lot of new information. one line that jumped out at me, i want to get your thought trump was not authorized to possess or retain those classified documents. he keeps insisting he was authorized as president of the united states, even though he removed those documents after he left office. he was authorized to retain those kinds of documents. what do you say? wolf, i worked on these issues when i was in government,
one area has been that has always been a question of will it become part of this case is what happened to the people who were working at mar-a-lago or working around trump and walt nauta, what were they doing? what were they saying to investigators, and also what was happening to surveillance tapes, specifically tapes that had captured people moving boxes or at least captured walt nauta moving boxes? there was a lot of interest from the special counsel s office in their investigation related to those surveillance tapes, how they were handled, how people were approaching them, how people wanted to maintain them. but that really never became something that we read about in that first indictment that came in the trump case. so that is what i m waiting to see at the very least. we do know as of right now that there s just this third defendant added, and we are waiting for more to appear in the court record. wolf? will. i stand by kristen holmes is getting information. you have a stat
