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 courthouse in Washington, D.C.

where we have been awaiting a possible indictment of

former President Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. That

indictment did not happen today. But then this evening Special Counsel Jack Smith did issue new charges against Trump

just not for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Today Jack Smith issued additional

charges against Donald Trump and the other case against him,

the one dealing with his handling of classified documents down at Marlago.

Special Counsel Smith issued what is called in the business a superseding indictment to add three new

charges to the Marlago case today.

That's one count, one new count of willful retention of national defense information and two new

counts of obstruction against both Mr. Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. The

Special Counsel also charged a new third defendant in that case, a man named Carlos de Olivera, who is the head of maintenance at Marilago.

And it is with the addition of Mr. de Olivera where things get really quite interesting.

Today's new charges all center around one of the enduring mysteries of this case,

the Marilago security footage.

Remember, that footage is the reason we know in the very first place that Trump had boxes

of documents moved around his property in the days leading up to a visit from federal

investigators.

And we know that because there was literally tape

of Walt Nauta, schlepping boxes to and from that storage room

to other parts of the property.
