A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing.
Yuscil Taveras, the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Florida, changed his testimony last month about efforts to delete security camera video at the club after he changed from a lawyer paid for by Trump’s Save America PAC to a public defender, Tuesday’s filing says.
It is, and you should… most of the time.
There are times where it is beneficial to let a witness know that you know they’re lying, giving them a chance to flip before you fry them, as the info they’re holding onto may very well be worth more than eliminating them as a witness entirely via perjury.
