Special counsel Jack Smith in recent weeks transmitted a target letter to [another Trump] staffer indicating that he might have perjured himself during a May appearance before the federal grand jury hearing evidence in the classified documents probe, the sources told ABC News.
The target letter to the employee [...] signals Smith's growing interest in the Trump Organization's handling of the surveillance footage and potential efforts to avoid sharing it with investigators.
[...]
A target letter puts a subject of an investigation on notice that they are facing the prospect of an indictment.
[...]
Reached Thursday by ABC News, the employee declined to answer questions about a possible target letter and his discussions with investigators, saying only, "It's none of your business."
ABC
I think ABC will make it their business, pal.
Stanley Woodward, a lawyer who has represented the employee and who represents several other Trump advisers, declined to comment to ABC News.
I wonder if Trump is paying Woodward by the client or he just has a bulk rate.
Investigators have been scrutinizing the employee's role in the handling of surveillance footage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate that was sought by federal prosecutors last summer, sources said.
Investigators are also interested in any subsequent conversations he had with other Trump Organization employees, including Walt Nauta, who was indicted alongside Trump in June on charges related to his own alleged efforts to obstruct the investigation.
Do you suppose this could be the employee who flooded the server room?
The Trump Organization maintains that no surveillance footage was destroyed or deleted.
Doesn't mean they didn't try.
The government is not taking the position that footage was deleted or destroyed, but rather is zeroing in on potential efforts to obstruct the probe.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
