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 rea ....
Everyone made is that they made the case through republican witnesses. one of the things that s striking here to your point about who the sort of the anonymous people are, attorneys 1, 2, and 3 are attorneys for donald trump. employees 1 and 2 and their contemporaneous text messages to each other are the evidence. in other words, this is not made up by the fbi. these are contemporaneous trump employees and attorneys where the information s coming from them. the photographs are coming not from the fbi during a search where donald trump says, oh, these are staged. these are photos from employees 1 and 2 taking them on their phones. you have employees 1 and 2 saying donald trump is reviewing personally the boxes so the strength of the evidence coming from insiders to ari s point, not from fbi agents doing interviews. this is from people who were ....
There may be other things, though, where they re like we just can t declassify this. i would assume by the way, a lot of that discussion has happened already, in order for this to be listed, there are conversations that happened. there have been some espionage cases that never get to court because they decide it s too dangerous to reveal the evidence. absolutely. the second thing they can do is make the kind of arguments i m making, which is that the content isn t relevant to obstruction because the obstruction is just sort of what s on the face of it. it is true that that takes some of the guts, the sort of what you re saying is the emotional impact of sort of what happened here, but if you re trying to decide, you know, national security versus a conviction, you re going to be weighing different things. so that s a closing argument? that weighing, i am confident what we re seeing here a lot of that weighing has happened already. having been in these meetings, there are disc ....
Employee 2 had placed in trump s residence. trump employee 2 provided trump the photograph so that trump 18 could see how many boxes were stored in the storage room. the photograph shown depicted a wall of the storage room, against which dozens of trump s boxes were stacked. that s that photo as well. if we go to count 8 of the indictment that s just a time line, and on january 17th it says that it s a year, right, after trump leaves office, and by then the national archives was begging repeatedly saying we need these documents. he gave them 15 documents containing 19 15 boxes containing 197 documents. on june 3rd, trump s attorneys turned over 38 more documents. then in august 8th, more than half a year later, pursuant to a court authorized search warrant, the fbi recovered from trump s ....
