We expected, as I just said, we might get new charges against Donald Trump today,

but we did not expect this. At the beginning of the day, all eyes were on this federal

to destroy that footage. After the FBI subpoenaed the security footage, a series of phone calls took

place between Trump, Nauda, and De Oliveira. Following those calls, Mr. Nauda, who was scheduled to fly
