THE ATTEMPT TO DELETE SECURITV CAMERA FOOTAGE
74. On June 3, 2022, when FBJ agents were at The Mar-a-Lago Club to
collect the documents with classification markings from Trump Attorney
I and Trump Attorney 3, the agents observed that there were
surveillance cameras located near the Storage Room.
75. On June 22, 2022, the Department of Justice emailed an attorney
for TRUMP's business organization a draft grand jury subpoena
requiring the production of certain security camera footage from The
Mar-a-Lago Club, including footage from cameras "on ground floor
(basement)," where the Storage Room was located.
76. On June 23, 2022, at 8:46 p.m., TRUMP called DE OLIVEIRA and they
spoke for approximately 24 minutes.
77. On Friday, June 24, 2022, the Department of Justice emailed the
attorney for TRUMP's business organization the final grand jury
subpoena, which required the production of "la]ny and all surveillance
records, videos, images, photographs and/or CCTV from internal
cameras" at certain locations at The Mar-a-Lago Club, including "on
ground floor (basement)," from January I 0, 2022, to June 24, 2022.
78. That same day, June 24, 2022, at 1:25 p.m., Trump Attorney I spoke
with TRUMP by phone regarding the subpoena for security camera
footage. At 3:44 p.m., NAUTA received a text message from a co-worker,
Trump Employee 3, indicating that TRUMP wanted to see NAUTA. Less than
two hours later, NAUTA- who was scheduled to travel with TRUMP to
Illinois the next day-changed his travel schedule and began to make
arrangements to go to Palm Beach, Florida, instead.
79. NAUTA provided inconsistent explanations to colleagues for his
sudden travel to Florida. At 7: 14 p.m. on June 24, he texted one
person that he would not be traveling with TRUMP the next day because
he had a family emergency and used ''shushing" emojis; at 9:48 p.m.
that night, he texted a Secret Service agent that he had to check on a
family member in Florida; and after he arrived in Florida on June 25,
he texted the same Secret Service agent that he was in Florida
working.
80. Around the same time on June 24 that NAUTA was making his travel
plans to go to Florida, NAUTA and DE OLIVEIRA contacted Trump Employee
4, who was the Director of Information Technology ("IT') at The
Mar-a-Lago Club, as follows:
a. At 5:02 p.m., NAUTA sent text messages to Trump Employee 4 asking,
''Hey bro You around this weekend."
b. At 5:05 p.m., NAUTA texted DE OLIVEIRA, asking, "Hey brother You
working today?" DE OLIVEIRA responded, "Yes I just left." NAUTA then
called DE OLIVEIRA and they spoke for approximately two minutes.
c. At 5:09 p.m., Trump Employee 4 texted a response to NAUTA, " I am
local. Entertaining some family that came to visit. What's up?" NAUTA
responded to Trump Employee 4, "Ok, cool. No biggie just wanted to see
if you where around. Enjoy bro!''
d. At 6:56 p.m., DE OLIVEIRA texted Trump Employee 4, "Hey buddy how
are you ... Walter call me early said it was trying to get in touch
with you I guess he's coming down tomorrow I guess needs you for
something." Trump Employee 4 responded, "He reached out but he didn't
say what he wanted. I told him I was local but entertaining some
family that came from NYC th is weekend. He told me to no worries.''
e. At 6:58 p.m., Trump Employee 4 texted NAUTA, "Bro, if you need me I
can get away for a few. Just let me know." NAUTA responded, "Sounds
good!! Thank you.''
81. On Saturday, June 25, 2022, NAUTA traveled from Bedminster, New
Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida. Prior to NAUTA's trip, DE OLIVEIRA
told a valet at The Mar-a-Lago Club ("Trump Employee 5") that NAUTA
was coming down. DE OLIVEIRA asked Trump Employee 5 not to tell anyone
that NAUTA was coming down because NAUTA wanted the trip to remain
secret. DE OLIVEIRA also told Trump Employee 5 that NAUTA wanted DE
OLIVEIRA to talk to Trump Employee 4 to see how long camera footage
was stored.
82. Shortly after arriving in Palm Beach on the evening of June 25,
NAUTA went to The Mar-a-Lago Club and met with DE OLIVEIRA at 5:46
p.m. At The Mar-a-Lago Club, NAUTA and DE OLIVEIRA went to the
security guard booth where surveillance video is displayed on
monitors, walked with a flashlight through the tunnel where the
Storage Room was located, and observed and pointed out surveillance
cameras.
83. On Monday, June 27, 2022, at 9:48 a.m., DE OLIVEIRA walked to the
IT office where Trump Employee 4 was working with another employee in
the IT department. DE OLIVEIRA requested that Trump Employee 4 step
away from the office so that DE OLIVEIRA and Trump Employee 4 could
talk.
84. At 9:49 a.m., Trump Employee 4 and DE OLIVEIRA left the area of
the IT office together and walked through a basement tunnel. DE
OLIVEIRA took Trump Employee 4 to a small room known as an "audio
closet" near the White and Gold Ballroom. Once inside the audio
closet, DE OLIVEIRA and Trump Employee 4 had the following exchange:
a. DE OLIVEIRA told Trump Employee 4 that their conversation should
remain between the two of them.
b. DE OLIVEIRA asked Trump Employee 4 how many days the server
retained footage. Trump Employee 4 responded that he believed it was
approximately 45 days.
c. DE OLIVEIRA told Trump Employee 4 that "the boss" wanted the server
deleted. Trump Employee 4 responded that he would not know how to do
that, and that he did not believe that he would have the rights to do
that. Trump Employee 4 told DE OLIVEIRA that DE OLIVEIRA would have to
reach out to another employee who was a supervisor of security for
TRUMP's business organization. DE OLIVEIRA then insisted to TRUMP
Employee 4 that "the boss" wanted the server deleted and asked, "what
are we going to do?"
85. At 10:14 a.m., DE OLIVEIRA texted NAUTA, who was still in Florida,
"Hey buddy are you working today?" DE OLIVEIRA then called NAUTA at
10: 15 a.m., and they spoke for approximately one minute.
86. Later that day, at 1:06 p.m., NAUTA texted DE OLIVEIRA, who was at
The Mara-Lago Club, "On my way to you." Between 1:31 p.m. and 1:50
p.m., DE OLIVEIRA walked through the bushes on the northern edge of
The Mar-a-Lago Club property to meet with NAUTA on the adjacent
property; then walked back to the IT office that he had visited that
morning; and then walked again through the bushes on the northern edge
of The Mar-a-Lago Club property to meet with NAUTA on the adjacent
property.
87. At 3:55 p.m., TRUMP called DE OLIVEIRA and they spoke for
approximately three and a half minutes.
