The allegations were made Thursday in an updated grand jury indictment that adds new charges against Trump and adds another defendant to the case.
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump asked a staffer to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into his possession of classified documents, according to an updated indictment unsealed Thursday that adds new charges against the former president and names an additional defendant.
A Trump spokesperson dismissed the new charges as"nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt" by the Biden administration"to harass President Trump and those around him" and to influence the 2024 presidential race. The superseding indictment charges Trump with an additional count of willfully retaining national defense information relating to the former president discussing U.S. military plans to attack another country during an interview in July 2021 at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club. The interview was for a memoir being written by his onetime chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who in his subsequent book named the country as Iran.
