After the FBI seized classified records from Mar-a-Lago, a former employee quit his job and became a key witness in the case against Donald Trump.
Trump made outreach efforts to the employee, including phone calls, offers of legal representation, and complimentary tickets to a golf tournament.
The interactions were not previously reported and were of interest to the special counsel’s office. (Trending: Here Are The Most Disturbing Ways Hunter Biden Spent His Millions)
“He had moved several boxes for Trump and was also privy to conversations referenced in the indictment between Trump and his two co-defendants, Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira, and Trump’s body man Walt Nauta – putting the former employee in a unique group of Mar-a-Lago staffers who could be in a position to provide valuable information to investigators,” the report found.

“The phone call from Trump, described to CNN by multiple people familiar with it, was part of a pattern of outreach to the former employee, who would become a key witness in the months after the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and before Trump’s June indictment,” the report added.
Trump’s business and political world’s approach to keeping tabs on allies and former associates was highlighted.
The former employee found his own attorney, suspecting he might get subpoenaed by federal investigators.
The use of defense lawyers provided by Trump has raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest in the case.
Additionally, the indictment highlighted the use of a lawyer paid for by Trump by one of the co-defendants.
