The twice-impeached former president was first indicted in the classified documents case last month, accused of endangering national security by holding on to top secret nuclear and defense information after leaving the White House. The new indictment recounts a conversation between de Oliveira and a fourth, unnamed employee in which de Oliveira says “the boss” wants the server deleted. The letter reportedly cited three federal criminal statutes: conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an official proceeding and deprivation of rights. Trump has repeatedly attacked the investigation as a political “witch hunt.”He claims without evidence that he lost the election due to widespread voting fraud. Trump’s defense attorneys had requested it be held after the November 2024 election.
