A witness in the case accusing former President Donald Trump of mishandling classified documents has entered into a"non-prosecution agreement" with federal prosecutors, an attorney wrote in a Tuesday filing.
The deal came to be after special counsel Jack Smith's office threatened to prosecute the witness, who is head of information technology at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, for lying to a grand jury, attorney Stanley Woodward wrote in the filing.Woodward is representing Walt Nauta, one of two Trump employees who are charged in the documents case, in addition to having previously represented the IT head, who is not named in the filing.
Smith's team has said the witness is likely to testify at trial, creating a potential conflict of interest for Woodward, who will face the potential of a former client testifying against a current client. Prosecutors also previously said that the witness, who has been identified by other media outlets as Yuscil Taveras, had information about efforts by Nauta and others to obstruct the classified documents investigation.The case is one of four criminal prosecutions of Trump, who is the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination to take on President Joe Biden in the November 2024 general election.
