| 0:00.0 | Former President Trump's new co-defendant, his long-time employee, Carlos De Lavera, |
| 0:06.2 | is set to be arranged in a federal court in Miami at 10.30 a.m. on Monday. |
| 0:11.2 | And then on Tuesday, the grand jury that special counsel, Jack Smith, has been using in his |
| 0:16.5 | investigation into Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, that jury |
| 0:21.5 | is expected to meet again, which could mean more testimony or it could mean a possible |
| 0:27.0 | indictment. And as much as everyone is and has been for holding their breath to see |
| 0:32.5 | what happens in that investigation, let's be clear that special counsel Jack Smith took |
| 0:37.8 | us all by surprise yesterday with a new superseding indictment in the Mar-a-Lago investigation. |

| 1:18.7 | for months about the movement of those boxes. Now, Nauta is listed as a co-conspirator |
| 1:24.6 | in this indictment in part because he lied to the FBI about those movements, those movements |
| 1:29.5 | of boxes. But what about employee number two? Why isn't that employee also indicted? Could |
| 1:37.0 | it be that employee number two did not lie? And does that mean that employee number two |
| 1:44.5 | is cooperating? Well, the New York Times has identified employee number two as a woman |
| 1:50.8 | named Molly Michael, Trump's former executive assistant. Now, NBC has not independently verified |
| 1:56.8 | that reporting, but if that is indeed the case, her potential cooperation would be a huge |
| 2:02.6 | deal and not just in the Mar-a-Lago case. As Trump's executive assistant, Molly Michael |
