Special Counsel Jack Smith of the Department of Justice has made an announcement today regarding former President Donald Trump. Smith has revealed that three additional counts have been filed against the 45th President in relation to the classified documents case.

These counts include charges of 'willful retention of national defense information' and 'corruptly destroying or concealing records'. Notably, Smith also mentioned a third defendant, Carlos De Oliveira. The indictment now includes three individuals: Oliveira, Donald Trump, and Trump aide Walt Nauta.

According to the indictment, Nauta and Oliveira played a role in the transportation of documents within Mar-a-Lago after the Department of Justice issued a subpoena in May. The documents were requested to be returned to the National Archives.

Moreover, the 60-page indictment suggests that Oliveira was the person instructed by Trump to delete the footage. These developments have drawn attention as they shed further light on the existing case.

The trial for these charges has been scheduled for May 20th, 2024. This date was agreed upon as a compromise between the Biden Department of Justice, which advocated for December 11th, and Trump's legal team, who requested a date after the 2024 election.
