“Facing #indictment this summer, #Taveras replaced his #lawyer, who was being paid by #Trump’s #PAC & also represented one of TFG’s co-defendant #Nauta. Taveras then returned to the #GrandJury & offered a more detailed version of events, recounting how he had been asked to #delete the #surveillance footage.”

#Woodward has not opposed the request for Judge #AileenCannon …to hold a #hearing on the issue. But suggested in Wed's filing that prosecutors' handling of the IT manager's #testimony was improper.…
Prosecutors previously said that the #witness, who has been identified by media outlets… as Yuscil #Taveras, had information about efforts by #Trump’s personal aide #Nauta & others to #obstruct the #ClassifiedDocuments investigation.

#Woodward currently represents #WaltNauta, one of the two Trump employees also #charged in the documents case, in addition to having previously repped the IT head, who is not named in Wed's filing.
Prosecutors have said the employee is likely to testify at #trial, posing a potential #ConflictOfInterest for Woodward, who will face the prospect of a fmr client testifying against a current client. (& who is paid by the primary actor in the case)

Key #witness in #Trump #ClassifiedDocuments case entered into a #deal w/prosecutors to provide #testimony, his fmr (paid by Trump) #attorney said in a #court #filing.
The deal was reached after #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s office “threatened” to prosecute the witness, who is the head of #IT at Mar-a-Lago, for #lying to a #GrandJury, atty #StanleyWoodward, said in the filing.

@GottaLaff I love this, #Taveras bravery to be honest and get real defense counsel.
Woodward is #counsel of record for #Nauta, & for some period of time also #Taveras — it’s unclear if he will continue. Many details in the #SupersedingIndictment leave the strong impression that Taveras is cooperating w/the #SpecialCounsel in some capacity — particularly the evidence surrounding his alleged convos w/ #DeOliveira about the server.
“This is not rocket science,” Gillers said. “You can’t represent a cooperator & someone fighting an #indictment [like Nauta] in the same transaction.”

"#Taveras offered information implicating all three defendants in an alleged conspiracy to cover up evidence, these people said."

…in late June of last year, #DeOliveira went to see #Taveras — who is identified only as #Trump #Employee4 — & told him that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” referring to the computer #server holding the #SecurityFootage.
“What are we going to do?” the #indictment quoted De Oliveira as saying, after Taveras objected & said he would not know how & did not think he had the right to do so.
