Additional Obstruction Suspected In Trump’s Docs Case

ABC News reports:

Special counsel Jack Smith appears to have suspected additional efforts by former President Donald Trump to obstruct the government’s investigation of his handling of classified documents, a newly unsealed court filing revealed Tuesday.

The opinion was released as an exhibit in filings responding to Trump’s efforts to have the case dismissed, ahead of two hearings Wednesday related to his aide Walt Nauta’s efforts to dismiss the related charges against him.

After Trump attorney Evan Corcoran informed Trump of the subpoena for video footage on June 24, 2022, it set into motion a scramble by Nauta to change his travel plans and fly from Bedminster, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida.
