Former Trump employee number five, Brian Butler, has come forward in a classified documents indictment against former President Donald Trump, shedding light on his involvement in moving boxes of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago while the FBI was questioning Trump.
In an interview, Butler revealed that Trump had mentioned moving boxes in conversations, comparing it to actions by others like Biden. Butler claimed he was unaware of the contents of the boxes until he was at the plane.
Butler's testimony provides insight into an alleged obstruction conspiracy involving Trump, his bodyman Walt Nada, and Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos D. Oliveira, who was Butler's best friend and neighbor for 20 years. Conversations between Butler and Oliveira, detailed in the indictment, suggest attempts to obstruct justice.
Butler disclosed that Oliveira hinted at Trump offering to pay for his legal representation, provide tickets to a golf tournament, and rehire him at Mar-a-Lago. In one instance, Butler witnessed Oliveira receiving a call from Trump offering to secure him an attorney, emphasizing loyalty.
Butler clarified that he opted for his own legal representation and denied any notion of a witch hunt. His account presents a significant development in the ongoing investigation and potential trial involving Trump and his associates.
